For sale is a beautiful handmade fighter kite . IT IS THE SILHOUETTE MODEL, DESIGNED BY JEFF MACINNIS This kite is made from modern materials. It is very similar to the kites in the "Kite Runner" movie, only faster and smaller. The kite is made from black orcon. Orcon is an excellent lightweight reinforced film and suited perfectly for making fighter kites. Unfortunately, it is much harder to get today since manufacturing of this specific kind was terminated a few years ago. This kite too, like all the kites I build, has icarex pockets at thewingtips for additional strength. Bow is 0.55 carbon fiber T he spine is made from excellent Japanese bamboo. It is 16.2" long. Wingspan is 19" Ideal wind 1 - 6 mph. The kite has a 3 point fully adjustable bridle. Pleasenote that the perimeter of the kite is neatly hemmed in and glued in with contact cement in order to provide additional strength. I have test flown this kite and it flies straight and tracks perfectly.
