The Drachen Foundation
has some stuff about kites. (I particularly liked the idea of miniature kites)
This may be handy for National Kite Month. The Kite Society of Great Britain has some plans and articles, or you could visit the Virtual Kite Zoo. Worried about the weather? See Kitecast, complete with virtual kite.

I have a miniature kite, though not as intricate as those linked. It never fails to bewilder people who take notice when I'm flying it. Fun links, Plegmund!

In Bermuda Good Friday is a holiday and it's a tradition to make and fly paper kides on the beach that day. We've tried to introduce that tradition here but the windiest time has usually passed by that time of the year.
