Whether you should buy or build your kite is a question that only you can answer. But if you have ever dreamed, drawn, and built your own kite and then achieved with it a successful flight, you have known a great pleasure. The pleasure is multiplied and intensified as your designs, methods, and techniques vary from conventional patterns.
In making your own kites, the cost of materials can be much or little, depending on your choices. You will, of course, spend time, but it will be time well spent. You will certainly learn more about kiting as you build and you will discover also why some kites are better than others. |
