I never believed this ship-kite would get off the ground but it did with ease and grace, and it was perfectly balanced. Everything aboard is friction fit; we actually put it together that morning. The shop that Nor bought it from has since gone out of business, but not because of their aeronautic engineering skills!
By the time we were through the spool had come apart and we were left with an incredible tangle of kite line, but the kite was fine!
