My Tetrahedron at Kecskemét, Hungary

FLIGHT AND DEATH OF A KITE

Out of the 64 cells - while I'm unfolding and putting up the remaining 3*16 cells - a 16-cell tetrahedron unit is aleady flying beautifully.

While working on the other 16-cell units there's time to bridle one or two shopping bag SLED.

(As to the weather, though we've had sunshine, a beautiful day, still we had to put on some clothes to protect ourselves - a crazy wind was blowing.) And look at the result:

In this picture you can see one of the 16-cell tetrahedron; it's still flying steadily, but soon one of the bamboo sticks of the leading edge will be broken by the crazy wind.

While all the units of the 64-cell kite are taking shape, a high apect ratio DELTA - of 10.66' wingspan - is being flown. (The brown box next to the white tetrahedron is NOT a KiteCoffin prepared for an unfortunate event.)

The crazy wind damaged not only the already airborne 16-cell unit but also the 16-cell ones still on ground.

Out of the 384 bamboo sticks 3.1% of them were damaged. Well, not so bad. - It can be repaired.
