you can buy a s/hand kite thats had 20/30 prototypes in its development for less money than you could buy the materials :roll:

@GBgreen

that bow looks interesting!
how did you make that?
did you use an old kite as donor for materials?
how did you design the shape

I built one from scratch
more info here

topic on my bowkite

and it is most rewarding (plus its my bread and butter kite now (13-30 knots!))
