Delta Kites

For kite flyers 10 years and older

   
       
 

The Delta kite is beautiful to watch as it floats above on a wisp of wind. This is a wonderful, easy flyer, perfect for any kite flying experience. It is a favorite kite for flying.

The Delta’s named comes from its triangular shape, resembling the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, Delta. Some people call it a bird kite because it looks like a bird gliding through the air.

Unlike many kites, this Delta does not have a bridle line. It has a keel at the center that acts as a bridle and determines the kite’s flight angle to the wind. The flying line attaches through a point on the keel.

You'll need about 1/2 hour to assemble, before decorating. The pattern is rather clever because you need to flip one side over to create a 4' triangle. That's why this kite is for kids 10 and above, though younger kids can certainly fly it.

The construction and flying of this delta is perfect for
kids who are looking for "cool" things to do. There's nothing "cooler" than creating your own project and having it work!
