ABSTRACT:
A miniature kite includes a planar cover sheet, a frame, a control line and an elongate, flexible tail. The frame is formed of first and second diagonally overlapped, joined struts. A third strut overlaps and is joined to the intermediate overlap point of the first and second struts. The ends of the first, second and third struts are adhesively joined to one major surface of the sheet. The tail has an extremely long length relative to the length of the struts of the frame. Preferably, the first and second struts have a length of substantially 5.50 inches, the third or cross strut has a length of substantially 3.75 inches and the tail has a length of substantially 6 feet. The peripheral edges of the sheet have a shape substantially the same as the boundary between the ends of the first, and second and third struts.
