...nothing, at the moment, since I was finally able to obtain copies of
"Asiatische Drachen" - from a friendly rec.kiter, BTW -
and "Kiteworks".
Am I missing out on any must-have book on kiting? If you think so, let me know and send me an email
What I'd really like to have - but haven't been able to find yet - is a book devoted entirely to building techniques. I.e. what options are there for solving a particular design problem; what are the pros and cons of each method. Of course this book would be concerned only with single-liners (OK, maybe volume 2 is for sports kites :-) It wouldn't contain any specific plans but rather discuss the general characteristics of various types of kite: what makes them fly the way they do and how can the flying characteristics be influenced and improved. Kite Flight: Theory and Practise is a good start, but there's still a lot missing.
