Greetings from North Baltimore, MD, USA, Samo! Thank you very much for posting this brilliant, fun video! I am a long-time kite flier & fly the sophisticated airfoil kites w/ my club. (My kites are made of rip-stop nylon, like parachute/hang glider fabric). Typically in good winds, 5 - 30 mph, I get them up 400 to 500 ft. This paper kite, however, is truly an AMAZING design & you explained the creating procedures so well! Great for teaching basic kite aerodynamics to anyone, esp. children who are beginning to learn kite flying in general. A really cool classroom art & crafts project that will stick in childrens' minds for them to share w/ their families & eventually w/ their own children and grandchildren for generations. I've modified the materials somewhat to slightly heavier cardstock paper & using crochet thread instead of lightweight sewing thread. I also taught my first kite-making class to use a hand-operated paper punch tool. It was safer & easier for the young children to use this office tool instead of the scissors. Finally, rather than your traditional diamond-shaped holes, the paper punch tool creates round holes around which we glued lightweight paper reinforcements w/ the same size holes to prevent the line from cutting into the cardstock paper. As a result, the class could fly their kites confidently at the beach where higher wind speeds would not damage the more durable kites w/ these materials. Prior to punching holes & attaching lines, I also encouraged the class to use child-safe felt markers to either color block the sections of the folds or create designs of their own. Your traditional principles, regardless of our modifications, are still very reliable and consistent w/ sturdier materials. One in the class had a recent birthday & attached a length of his gift wrapping ribbon from a present along side your paper tail design for an even more interesting flying effect. Thank you for sharing this video. It brought lots of smiles and joy to a lot of folks on this side of the world! Many thanks once again from all of us! Salaam aleikum! :-)

Who else did this 24/7 as a kid?

Made this with the great instructions, and it worked well. Flew very high! I reinforced the paper with scotch tape before cutting the holes, just in case. Ours ended up in a tree, but since we used construction paper and thread, it might eventually make nesting material for wild animals. Will continue using this method. Thank you!

Long before the High-Flyer paper kites and Gayla kites reach the warm coast of Puerto Rico early in the 1960's we had the very similar home-made Lebanese paper kite. They were called CAPUCHINOS. We used exactly the same materials, though the tail was made form very thinly cut pieces of scrap textiles. ¡¡¡¡GRACIAS!!!!

Jt nw i make this paper kite really v awesome tq v much my little son was v happy , from morning onwards he is asking me to make , because of u i fulfilled my littleone's wish tq v much 👍👍

Really nice I loved it, I used to make and fly the same kite when i was a child it is called CAPUCHIN in my country, but i forgot how to really make it. This video helped to remind it. My 3 years old is going to enjoy it. I will do it as soon as i get home. Thanks a lot!!!

Wow.....this is a perfect kite!.....cheap, easy to make, and enjoyable while theres a quarantine😃😃.....i tested it while running....and it balance perfectly!!👌...this is a perfect video im finding

I'm sorry for the late comment but wow!!I didn't expect that even a 13 y/o me can manage to follow your instruction and gets succeed!!Thank you very much!!

Wow... Followed this instruction its working.. had wonderful time with friends. Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍from India.

I made it earlier and it worked beautifully! :-) My little one had a lot of fun. Thank you!

genius my man. up in the air no problems for an hour. no damage either. my kid was so happy.

I love the fact it's using only clean materials (no tape) - thank you so much

Morris: Thanks for your interest! Try the lightest cardstock weight recommended for printing business cards. The crochet thread I use is, in fact, cotton; however, nylon poly is lighter & does not a absorb moisture as much as cotton line which would make it heavier. I have not experienced any problems w/ either choice, so feel free to experiment. The most important thing about mounting your line onto the paper kite is to take meticulous care reinforcing all holes you cut/punch into the kite w/ scotch tape to avoid damage to the kite from your line. Happy flying! :-) Robby of Maui

thank you, dad used to do this for us when we were kids.... it really fun

'Thank you' from Canada. Just built it and took it outside in very gentle breeze. Flew great!

It works. My 3 year old enjoyed it!

This worked awesome! Light wind it took off! I forgot to anchor the string it flew high quickly! Love it!

Don't know if the kids do it now a days, but we flew this same design in the Bahamas in the seventies, I wonder how the design got to us :) I'd forgotten the little details but came looking because it's national nite flying day here. Thank you for the reminder

It was fun watching your video. So glad to be friends!!♥️♥️💚💙💚💜👍🍬

Nice Will try triste desing and them try to make an over sized version

The little kite, flying in the air, is amazing

Brilliant we just did it! Now we need wind... lol

Would yarn work?

I just made one. It flew. Yes it did. But the wind was too strong it got entangled on the wires nearby. Short-lived but fun.

Thank you dude it flyed very high

How much speed is required to fly it

you are genius and awesome sir......i like it.......

Or you could just skip this whole process and buy a kite at the dollar tree lmao

Beautifull 👌

I recommend this its soo cool

Is it ok if I use scissors to cut it bc I don5 have multi purpose thread so I’m using sewing thread and it won’t cut

Awsome kite so easy

OMG your Video is so good can use a real kite

Hello bruhh, can i take the tail off?

thank you very much and Congratulations 🎉

Who is watching during quarantine

It work thank you for posting this video

Thx bro my kids loved it i was surprised how high it could fly thx again

Great job! Thank you.

so cool i love it

just wondering why u placed the bridle holes where u did,i remember making these as a kid & we put the holes in the uppermost point in the small triangle part?,does it make any difference?

It’s great 👍 for home quarantine 😁.

That comet didn't know it could be done with paper

This is Awesome, thanks for sharing

woudn't it fly better upside down? The pointed part towards the bottom?...

Thanks for sharing. Will try this this summer on a windy day.!!!!

I am in the mountains of Peru and we have very strong wind here.... should I make it with heavier paper? Or is there a way to fortify it to handle crazy winds?

wow! it is really work !!!

Worked perfectly! Thank you!!!

good kite i have tried it today ind it's flies very well.

It is very beautiful

I bet this would work I am doing this on the last day of the term which I am homeschooling

Super duper nice 👍

cool kite,so easy to make!

you mean to tell the earth you don't have a pagani smart kite do it yourself upload anywhere

IS IT BETTER THAN NORMAL???

it is the best it flew in about 15 mile per hour wind good job keep it up

Thank you very much

I love this kite without bamboo

Thank you But I think this video's speed is too slow, it is suggested to watch it using 1.75 speed

Its not a good kite its a epic legend kite so cool❤❤❤
