Legs - Story
A larger kite to be possessed, that simply developed, stowed away and transported and in addition looks still good is probable the goal of many kite fliers knows. At a time in that the variety of the staffless kites still limits, and which own experimentation joyfulness was underdeveloped, a structural drawing from the book offered itself "Phantastische Drachenwelt" [7] . There there was a pattern elbow of the famous "Legs" from Martin Lester.
Unfortunately were somewhat small the mass of the kite. Legs nevertheless very jerkily in small size fly and running in air looks very nervous. Therefore my brother decided to increase the structural drawing and it developed a collecting main of approx. 4,50m length. It was at short notice - the kite should become finished - not possible to find a skin colored material. Thus he selected a dark orange color, which was visually still acceptable.
The result was to be built very beautiful and it enstand the desire still another kite. We did then together and divide the work for two Legs. I procured the material and could also still another remainder of skin color in balloon silk get. My brother carried the cut out with his collecting mains, which he could do best. And I sewed the individual parts together. Came out two mad kites, which often flew since with the first one in the three-team and still today fly. Only the skin color faded meanwhile somewhat.
