In ongoing coverage of kite phenomena, we bring you the
Black Crow Kite: "This kite flies as a real crow in the sky. Many real crows will attack the crow kite. If you fly this kite near the forest where many crows live, more than two hundreds of crows will attack the kite within five minutes of flying the kite."
We will be testing this design independently to confirm it's crow attractor capacity.

How cool is this: a guy named David Aberdeen programmed freeware for modeling 2D/3D kite designs! It's called
SurfPlan.

The Smithsonian Kite Festival (part of the National Cherry Blossom Festival) in DC makes kite flying seem as cool as it ever was. No, actually, cooler! Not only do the Masters' kites fly 500 feet in the air, or turn incredible stunts like 90-degree turns, but they also fight to destroy each other in a "traditional Rokkaku Challenge". They slice each others' lines, smash into each other and use their tethers to bind up competitors in a Battle Royale format.
