3-D Kite flying!

On this page links to animated versions of "old" sport kite compulsory figures. If you want to know more about sport kite flying, go (back) to the home page and start from there.
The animations are done in vrml (virtual reality modelling langauge) and you will need a plug-in or viewer (see links). Just e-mail me if you have any comments, ideas or questions!

	Check the different viewpoints. The grids are switchable. More figures will follow.
The two-lines kite used is -the virtualisation of- the Devotion, a kite designed by Designkites/ Stephen Versteegh.


	You will need a plug-in or viewer for the 3D animation, The Cortona 4 plug-in works well with most browsers;
	And a good browser; like Firefox or Netscape
	and an editor, either text (Wordperfect) or HTML like Amaya
	(And preferably a fast processor, 800 x 600 pixels screen or better, 256 colors )

Don'forget to fly!
