ABSTRACT:
A kite has three hollow, tubular frame members joined together at the forward end of the kite by a nose piece having radial lugs receiving the frame tubes thereover. A flexible sheet such as plastic is affixed between a central tube and each of two side tubes to form a delta shaped lifting surface which may have dihedral between two halves thereof. A triangular keel surface is attached to the central tube and extends below the kite. Affixed to a lower-most portion of the keel is a string attachment plate for attachment of a string used to tether the kite during flight. The plate has three longitudinally-spaced attachment points or holes, each adapted to receive the string selectively depending upon wind strength conditions. Each attachment point or hole provides a different preferred angle of attack to the kite in various wind conditions and hence facilitates obtaining optimum performance from the kite.
