Kono Box Kite Kit (10 pack)
$15.00
About this Kite Kit: This kite is USA kite artist Greg Kono’s adaptation of Australian Lawrence Hargrave's box kite design. This kite is a very stable flyer. The kite uses latex tubing to join the spars. A good “next step” for young students age ten and older (may need adult help in joining spars) who have made one or more flat and bowed kites. Printed on 11” x 17” bond. Recommended Age: Age 10 and up. Decoration: The simplest method would be to use marker pens, but substituting the bond paper for more interesting light weight paper with color or patterns would work. Note: do not increase the weight of the paper, matching the weight of the bond paper supplied is critical in the flight of this kite. Ideal wind conditions for this kite: Medium (a flag on a pole is steadily moving...but if the flag is flying straight out, it's too much wind!) Note: Sold only in 10 packs. Classroom Curriculum & Lesson Plans: Learn more about teaching with this kite on our website.
