Latest kite - Mini Mock Form

Friday, August 13th, 2004

I finished a new kite on Wednesday. It’s a 20 sq ft Mini Mock form. The Mock Form was designed by Don Mock of the Pacific North West in the U.S. I used plans that I found on Pete Schmidts site . I used the drawings from Pete’s plan and created full size templates in visio.

here is the completed kite…

Welcome!!

Hi,

My name is Bill and welcome to SteadyWinds.com.  Here you will find photos, videos and other information about all things related to kites! People are always surprised when I tell them that I fly kites and even more surprised when I say that I also build them. On the rare occasion I get the opportunity to place the line of a kite in to the hands of one of these people, the look on their face is priceless! There are always big grins and comments on how much fun they had flying kites as a child.

I created this site to show case the kites that I and others have built, and to help promote a good healthy hobby that anyone can enjoy!

Steadywinds,
Bill
