Does anyone have experiance in kite building?

I am looking for some plans for a 4′ flexifoil or parafoil that I could construct (or any size, I just need the basic design). Does anyone know where I can buy some plans or get some for free?
thanx

Ok well heres a program that allot of the people who build kites use, its purely a traction kite. You wont be able to make yourself a kite like you’d buy from flexifoil of peter lynn but these kites are still very nice.

Using these you can make, 2-4 line kites and calculate the sizes you want via the program so you can actually make yourself a quiver.

p.s i recommend peter lynn arc kites, once you fly them you’ll never look back :)

Its a great sport, have been thinking of making myself one or two of these kites for those days when my phantoms don’t quite fit the bill.

Good luck and let us know how you get on :)
