My 8 foot wing span Delta-Conyne (DC) cir. 1998. It was my first attempt at sewing a kite. I used wooden dowels and soft rip-stop nylon from a fabric store, not the coated spinnaker cloth that is used in so many kites today. It is still my favorite kite but has been flown so much at the beach it is severally sun damaged and is now retired. The Batman symbols were appliqued on the wings to cover burn holes from the hot knife I used to cut out the material. It was a high flyer and with a steady beach wind had no trouble lifting my first generation pivacat suspension and the Kodak DC 260.
