I really love how you blur out the background. it makes your labeled photo much easier to read.
great plan-- can't wait to see it.

How does it fly?
It looks very similar to some of the Horvath kites, especially the Urban Ninja.
The Urban Ninja is a very interesting kite. The plans are available for free on that site. You don't have to use the exact materials that he specifies. I made mine with Tyvek and wood and it flew well. Not as well as the Icarex and carbon fiber, I'm sure.
