- There is another with more than 1 stunt kite plan ( Hawaiian,
- Spinoff, Speedwind, Silent Knite, Vison II, Japanese Acrobatic
- Reach-sky kite, Benson's Scorcher 2):

- Ron Moulton and Pat LLoyd,
- Kites, A Practical Handbook
- ISBN 1 85486 050 X
- Argus Books, England

- It's nice all around book on kiting, having chapters on
- Rokkaku fighting, Teddy Bear Parachuting, etc...
-
- They also reprinted "Details of the Hadzicki patent 4,892,272".
- (i.e. Revolution).
-
- But I am sure, that following the plans in the dutch book
- will make better kites. There are Hawaiian, Spinoff and
- Speedwing, too.
