I ordered this sock to be the tail for the big sled kite, but it's light enough that the small sled will fly it too.

It's 20 feet long and about 16" in diameter, and made from ripstop nylon. The letters are all individually cut and sewn onto the tube, so it is very substantial. One end is closed and the other has a special bridle so it will fly from the kite line or the kite itself (if you re-do the bridle...).

So wadda ya think WB?? Think Lou will be able to see that from his office window??

Sweet, how soon for a take off??

As soon as there is enough wind....I need at least 15 MPH and 20+ is better...

Ahh yes, well keep me informed Chief. I'll be waiting for your fun-in kite flying.
