A new kite and a makeover

Let’s start with the redesign: I had already made the hexagon kite with the Dortmund coat of arms a little smaller, but after the first test flights I wasn’t quite so happy with the new shape. I therefore decided on a “classic” hexagon shape and sewed the coat of arms onto the new shape. You can find more details on the kite page.

The construction of the new kite also means that there is a new kite flyer. Wait, a new kite flyer-my granddaughter. She’s only 10 months old, but you can’t start a nice hobby early enough.

The kite is an Eddy and a fox face is appliquéd onto it, naturally female as it should be.

I will soon publish the construction of this kite in the appropriate place.
