This is the first flight of my just-completed Mini-Mock kite (made from a plan developed by Don Mock), with a fuzzy tail added. It is 5 feet wide and 4 feet long. All of the outer panels are translucent white ripstop nylon, and only the five internal "profile" panels have colour (hot green, yellow, and orange), which gives it the ghostly glow effect.
The wind very low, ranging perhaps from 1 to 4 km/h on the ground. It was 8 A.M. and the dew was very heavy, so the kite was very wet. I launched it with a "long launch" of 87 yards of 100# line laid out.
