Anders Conbere has just the thing for your next bit of office downtime: go fly a kite. Eventually. First he wants you to go make a kite.
Using simple materials and Conbere’s Flickr gallery of photos as your guide, you’ll soon have your very own box kite, made from scratch and ready to fly.
Time to throw out that Spongebob kite you bought last spring …

Hi Can,
I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but this video looks like it has some good advice. Good luck with your next flight!

Hello I'm Can From Turkey,
Today i built a box kite and we have a mountain here. The wind is excellent there . I climbed the mountain to fly my box kite but it didn't work. It fell all the time. I've got pictures of it if you want to see. I think that wings(sails) may be heavy. It has a 100cm length and 50cm width. What can be the reason of the problem? If you help i will be glad. Thanks.
