Any Ideas for uses for an old kite?

Judging by all the bows in use there must be hundreds of old C's lying around somewhere.

Or are they all being stored at Menia Tip?

Kindling?

Lol, C's are far from obselete. As for me all you people who have called me a bow hater you might be pleased to know I will have one in 3 days or so. Lets see if it can convert me.

On Saturday I demonstrated what you can do with one. I was getting cold, so I cut the skin off an old yarga and made a poncho.
The curtain for out change room is a naish ar3.5
Next project is a bean bag cover, combo of naish and yarga.

I am thinking of starting a charity organization so c kites can be donated. To be sent back to china to house the poor peasant farmers. Putting two c's together and you have an igloo shaped structure.

Hi Peeps,

Definately make a great bean bag lounger with a little creative sewing. The worlds most expensive been bag could be made of a North 20m Rhino or one of those Naish 25M Aero?.

About $2600 for a bean bag would have to be a world record. It could be used in the water as well, but only in a decent breeze otherwise they wouldn't relaunch properly

Good winds,

they make good short term nightlights:

soak the kite, bar, lines and EVERYTHING else in petrol, launch it, light it, and then stand back and go oooohhhh aaaahhhh...

PS kiddies, if you are under age please let an irresponsible adult do this for you while you dial 000
