Really big stunt kites of the pure dart shape with wingspans over 5.0 metres that can be flown safely by a single pilot? That doesn't have to be a dream. Here the author tells how a series of large stunt kites was developed, built and also flown by him. The reward for the effort was beautiful flying experiences with sublime and majestic kites that are still unique in the sky.
