Fighter Kites

Fighter kites are addictive single line controllable kites. "The Fighter kite's uniqueness is single line maneuverability." - Richard Garreau. The fighter kite is controlled by pulling and releasing the line. Different line tensions can make the kite fly slower or faster, curve a graceful arc or spin on a wing tip. Many modern fighter kites are now made with ripstop sails and fiberglass or carbon fiber spars.
