So far it looks like the sled kite is winning.

However, the sample is very small.

Dear firstfold posting your emailadress on a public place like this Forum that can be searched by search engines and the like is a very bad idea, if you don´t want your mailbox exploding with spam. I´ve changed the spelling for you, to make it a little bit harder for the automated search engines to find it.

Thank you - once again

This was my best attempt ever. I actually have the evidence - here is an actual untouched picture of the kite flying:

One square sheet of scrapbook paper, three sheets for one paper stick and two slips, no glue no cuts except for two small holes to attatch the string.

I took the photo with the string in my mouth whiloe flying the kite - I am amazed that it came out at all ! ! !
