Subject: Airplane kite?

I'm looking for a source for an old plastic airplane kite. I remember it as a 
kid in the mid fifties. I believe it had a wing span of about two feet. The 
wing were yellow plastic, shaped in the form of an "s", when viewed from the 
end, and rotated, giving it the lift. I am looking to get it for a birthday 
present for my Dad to bring back memories (plus what else are you going to get 
someone who has 'everything and needs nothing'! Thanks for your help.  Pete

  Into The Wind in Boulder Co. had these in the last mail-order catalog I got
>From them.  The address and 1-800 number should be available in the kite
dealer faq in the archives or on someone's web page somewhere.

There is a comparable kite available in Germany. It's called 'Turboplan'
made by 'Guenter Flugspiele'. The only difference is that the colour of the
aircrafts body is yellow and the wings are red. The kite is available in
different sizes.

Breezy greetinx,

Thanks to all who replied to my question about a plastic airplane kite! All 
led me to "Into The Wind" in Boulder who says that the kid should arrive here 
in PA on or about the 12th. Since Dad's bithday is the 28th, that's great 
timing. Again, thanks to all.       Pete
