THE AFGHAN FIGHTER KITE

We know that flying fighter kites is not a national pastime in our part of the world so we designed KIRK to make it easy for even inexperienced flyers to fly. (It will forgive a crash or two.) The curved spine even makes it possible to launch from the ground if it is lying on the front (bridle) side, by tugging on the line. Included with each KIRK is a manual that explains, step-by-step, the basics of fighter kite flying.

You can also attach the tail to transform KIRK into a beautiful, stable single line kite!

Our KIRK is a modernized version of the Afghan fighter featured in the bestseller, ?The Kite Runner? by Khaled Hosseini.

As of 2012, still yellow in color available!
