Well kits certainly have changed!!!
When I was a kid kites were the simple diamond shape, or there were box kites.....
I don't know how many people even know what a box kite is, but they were the king of kites.
The simple diamond shape kite needed a " tail " and it needed to be just the correct length for it to fly.
I remember asking my Mom for scrap cloth to tie to my kite, sometimes you needed to tie knots in the cloth to stabilize the kite, or it would gyrate all over!!!!
So much fun........Maybe I need to just go fly a kite!!!!!
