Kite Gallery
Booklet n°6

My assistants
Florence, my wife, and Tristan, my little boy.

Rokkaku and banner
There is no real festival without Rokkakus (Japanese kites designed for collective fights) and banners.

Messenger
A messenger is a system that travels on the kite line, pushed by the wind, and comes back down when the sails collapse after hitting a target.
I usually use this system to launch a teddy bear equipped with a parachute. Kids love that !

Genki
This model was build with Kite Aerial Photography in mind.
The wingspan is 3m and it lifts the 1.2 Kg cradle with a wind strength of 2 to 3 Beaufort.

A click on any picture will open a 384 x 256 pixel JPEG version (approx. 30 Ko)
