My kite was inspired by the Orca whale. I felt that since it is going to be a large object in the sky, it could represent a large animal. I chose the Orca because I like their black and white color. It was relatively easy to make and I enjoyed making it too. I would not use packing tape next time, however, because it was not as sticky as I hoped it would be. I can't wait to make another. It was also fun to fly it at Tybee. I was afraid the loose tape would make the whole thing fall apart, but to my surprise, she took right to the sky and stayed there. At one point near the end of her flight, she came undone, yet she still stayed airborne. This just goes to show how forgiving the Delta kite design is. After a quick repair she was up and flying again until I brought her back down to pack up.
Thank you for a great quarter and I wish you all the best. Great ending to a great class!
