ABSTRACT:
A keel kite including brackets slidably mounted on wing sticks thereof. The brackets are spanned by a cross brace telescopically mounted in and connecting the brackets. The brackets can be held at selected positions along the wing sticks. A kite string is attached to the keel. An opening in the keel receives an air activated sound making device mounted on a central keel stick of the kite. The sound making device is actuated by air passing the keel as the kite flies. The sound making device includes a spinner rotatably mounted in the opening in the keel. The spinner is of light reflective material. The body is transparent so that sunlight can be reflected from the spinner in a flashing or sparkling effect.
