Subject: Cody Kite

Hi - Saw your note per photo kites in rec.kites - I have just completed a
7.5 ft X 13.5 ft Cody war kite, and am hoping for first flight in the next
few weeks - weather is still a tad mushey here in Chicago - The kite
turned out great, and I'm sure it will fly as good as it looks - but be
aware that if you do it right it will probably take 60 to 80 hours. The
sewing machine was new to me, so possibly I was especially slow, but it is
a big complex kite, and all the curved edges take lots of time. I'm
thinking of using it as a photo platform as well, so I may pull on your
coat tails when I start thinking about it. I'm no expert, but when you
start your Cody, I'd be happy to let you know where I had problems. 

Good Luck -

Andy McGhee
