And the Eclipse didn’t happen down here

Flying kites through a solar eclipse - even if just a partial one - is a unique experience. The uncanny, strange light makes everything really special ... and unforgettable.

This is a large delta kite, almost 9' wide but has great lift with little pull force. I swapped out the central tail with two 40' long yellow and orange strings to match the kite colors. Wind was light to moderate and had no difficulty getting her off the ground. Got lots of attention from passersby's. Definitely recommend.

Went to the family beach house & brought my Rainbow Burst Conyne Delta Kite. Beautiful day for flying!

Ready to get her in the air. Should be a great lifter.

Too much pull, needed mechanical assistance. Some advanced single line selv-steering system. Massive lift, enough to attach a person to it (seemed a bit sketchy, but fun).

My Drôle d'Oiseau Falcon has this 4pt bridle. Haven't seen it before. I see the activator line on the 2 tow points. But there appears to be 4 tow points. Anyone know the purpose of this? Thanks!

I'm a solo developer from Canada and I've been working on a meditative flying game for the last few months as my first ever venture into game development.

Paper Kites is an endless flyer that is designed to calm your nervous system down.

5 kites that you can unlock by collecting stars, each with its own music theme.

Game features its own day night cycle and each play starts at a random point of the cycle, so it will give you glimpses into the beauty of this paper world.

No ads, no in app purchases and fully offline.

Hope you'll have fun playing it as much as I had building it.

With the Indian independence day just days away, the shops are filled with huge quantities of different colourful kites all across the country.

It's a tradition to fly kites on independence day as a sign of Freedom.
