I am looking for a book/plans on Cody Kites. I have gone through our library & have seen all sorts of pics, but alas, no plans.
I'd like to build one in the 8ft. range.
Tnx PN

If you're serious about building a Cody, try to get hold of the book/manual
'S.F. Cody's War Kites' by Hugh Andrew. This is 52 pages worth of info and
plans on every last detail of building a Cody - but be warned, hes trying
to describe how to make a kite that Cody might think was from his workshop,
so you might have to do revolutionary stuff like substitute carbon for 
bamboo ( dunno if that would work... ).

You might have to send to him if you want a copy, it was published privately,
so if you want to get in touch, mail me and I'll let you have the address
he gives in the book.

There has been a very good plan for building a Cody Kite (different
versions - short wing, long wing, top-sail, and a description of how S.F.C's
Man-Lifting System is working - with all details to build such a system) from
a dutch guy called:

Nico van den Berg.

The plan was made in 1988 and is completely in dutch, but as there is not
so much text to read it's no problem for kite builders to understand the
drawings. Interesting are the sail reinforcements (right term ?) - they are
drawed in scale 1:1, you can easily copy them to the ripstop nylon.

I don't know if it is still availiable yet. Any  ideas about that from our
dutch friends ?

Breezy greetings,

Dieter

Theres' a nice plan in Christine Schertel's book 'Skywork experience 
II' THe book is published in Germany, so I guess it'd be easy for you 
to find it in kite shops. If not, it is sold by mail through Kite 
Lines, the american magazine.
