      @@OneOneCocoa473 acutally no, I don't know if ever heard about "sending a message," whereby when the kite is in flight you tie a string on the thread/twine and it moves upwards to the kite. We attached a wifi camera to basically a small umbrella like contraption, minus the handle, put it openeď on the twine, connected the camera to a phone and up it went.

    My dad is from Grenada up in maran near to Victoria, and he used to make the same style huge kites for us using brown paper and wood when we were kids right here in the uk.
    Everyone in the neighbourhood used to come out and watch us flying them.Watching this just reminded me of forgotten memories even took me back near on 40 years! It reminded of how powerful they were because they used to roar and lift us off the ground. Rip dad .I miss u.x

    I remember kites like these more than 70 years ago. Most of the shapes were exactly the same, but our kites were tiny versions of what these guys are making. These guys are putting together monsters; we could not even dream of doing what these guys are doing. Very, very impressive!

    We had kite fights, and added razor blades to the kite to cut the other kite strings.

      Do a video of moving heavy stuff around with one of your kites. I have theorized for years that it was the only means available to the Egyptians at the time that was strong enough to move huge stones. It’s gonna take professionals like y’all to accomplish such a Herculean feat but yall certainly have the expertise. I suggest using easy numbers for calculation purposes. Maybe use like a 1 square meter kite and a 10 kg stone and see how many meter wind it takes to move the stone so people can do the math for themselves.
      It’s a hell of theory and you guys are welcome to proving it possible. I think yall will get so many responses that you won’t be able to answer them all

    In Haiti we make these giants kites. We called them grandou. The flapper in the front is called vonvon. At the tail we used to attach razor blades and have kite fight to cut the other kite wire. On the rope we used to set a piece of floating paper that will travel along the rope all the way to the top.

    Growing up in new York I had a friend that was a master at making these kids of kites. He could make amazing colorful designs. One day he made this monster 5 foot kite that we had to tie to a metal pole, After a few hours it bent the pole almost in half. We had to leave it up overnight until the wind died down a bit to get it back. Fun times!

    In Haiti 🇭🇹 it’s the same way we used to fly our kites the same style wow. I remember my uncle made one twice the size of that he had to tie it to a tree it took three to 4 guys to fly it because it was dragging them. I’ll never forget the kite dive and it got stuck on a tree I thought it was the end but the kite broke off a big branch of that tree and flew with it that was crazy.

    I live in Jamaica and this is how we make Kites, a kite about 5 times smaller would have less wind resistance and be more fun though as we could do special moves with it such as causing it to to spiral out of control and regain control or free fall then pull it back up. Awesome stuff though :)...

      Lol, yes that was alot of fun, I used to tie the razor on a piece of nylon and attach it to the tail. Kite war is when each Kite is equipped with razor on the tails and we try to use the razor to cut the string of other's kites while they fly next to each other.

    Same technique we use to build kites in Jamaica. This remind me of that time when I spend a lot of hours making the most beautiful kite with about 5 different colours plastic bag, I was so proud of the kite and it flew perfectly. I went to fly it on the football field, there was another kid there with a rubbish kite that wouldn’t fly.. that kid went and told his big cousin that I stole his kite, so now his cousin trying to take my kite away from me. This cousin was older than me so I had no chance…. When I realise I couldn’t stop him taking my kite I crushed it in defiance and went home😂😂 this is one of my earliest experiences that people isn’t right and life isn’t fair.

      @OneOneCocoa473  2 месяца назад

      Nice to have Germany 🇩🇪 in the house. I’m not sure I can answer why the kite makes such loud noises. It happens when the wind passes through between the mayvel and the nose, (between 5:30 and 5:41 in the video). It’s a big part of kite making and competitions; loudest singing kite, longest tail, largest kite, smallest kite.
