Kitetrains are build as oneline- or directed twolinekites, too.
Kitetrains always preoccupy a lot of time and work for to build
them, but they bring a lot of fun, when you have finished them.
The longest singlelinetrain at the meeting was out of 200 kites.

With the owner of this 10th speedwing-train
I´ve talked for a while. The train is out of 10 fixed
kites. They are stored as a stack for transport. The size
of one kite is choosen that you can build one kite out of
one carbonstick. One finished stick is 33cm in length.
The train is flying with 2 x 54dN Dynema and is amazing
quiet and super-fast. It´s a pleasure to fly with this
train. |

| This kitetrain is a hardwork, too.
Every kite has another motive. At the top of the train (not
to see in this picture) there is a bigger kite of the
same type. It makes the start of the train easyer and
stabilizes the flight. |

As I have seen the kitetrain from Bjarne Høj Madsen (best regards from
here;-)), I was enthusiastic at once. 104 kites with the
motive of stones, that reminds to the danish flag. As I
talked with Bjarne (a mix of german, danish, english and
with hands and feet) he told me that he has an own
homepage in the web. There you can find the plan for this
kitetrain and others. When I held his kitetrain, it was a wonderfoul feeling to look along the dancing train into the wonderful sky. |

Kitetrains are always a challenge for the kitebuilder. You must have the perseverance to build the same kite again, again and again,... But the wonderful flight silhouette is a reward for the effort and other kiters give you their acknowledgement.

The kite-performer "Willi Koch"
from Nettetal, Germany, has gone another way with his
kitetrain. He hasn´t build hundreds of small kites, but
some very big ones for a kitetrain. Certainly, there is
more place for motives on the bigger area. Willi Koch has
shown his masterful abilities again. |
