GULL DELTABy John F . Van GilderWashington <strong>Kite</strong>fliers AssociationThis design was something I clippedfrom a craft magazine and filed forfuture reference . Recently I finallyfound time to make it into a kite .It scaled out best for the piece ofTyvek available at five inches to thesquare : 17 1/2 inches long with a 58-inch wingspan . The chassis is a deltakite . The bridle point is 5 1 /4 inchesdirectly below a spot 5 1/4 inches fromthe nose .It was a pleasant surprise to me thatthe kite flew with a slight flappingof-the-wingsmotion . In fact, it was apleasant surprise that the kite flew atall with its great span-to-length ratio . Iwas sure it would tumble topsy-turvy . 0
