A few years ago, I saw Modeggi (sp) with one. They are an odd little fighter that looks like a Rev. I have since flown a few that were built out of modern synthetic materials. Like the Korean, the use of modern materials does not always make the kite better or worse, but different. As for plans on how to build one, you have seen a picture, so build it. carl ___________________________________________________ email: crowell@kite.com FTP: ftp.teleport.com/pub/users/crowell WWW: http://www.teleport.com/~crowell Kites By Carl Crowell - O.S.F.M.
