Improvements to the design of the Kite-String Flyer described in my previous U.S. Pat. No. 3,752,424 include: attachments providing means for setting the elevator angles on the wing for better flight control; an improved launching mechanism for parachutes, etc., aloft; the use of ribbons attached to the rear surface of the wing to provide additional air resistance as they flutter in the breeze during flyer's dive down the kite string, thus slowing the descent rate and adding visual appeal to the flight of the flyer; the use of a 3/4 inch cube of a resilient foam cushion material attached to the front of the fuselage to protect against sting or injury to hands or body in case of contact at bottom of flight of flyer down the kite string; an improved mounting method of elastic holding hook to wing and of wing to fuselage to facilitate quick assembly of the flyer from a kit where the parts are packaged flat to provide a more convenient shipping package.
