Rokkaku

© Gone With The Wind used by permission
This old Japanese design makes for a great stable lifter. The Rokkaku is also a great kite for displaying creative graphics and artwork, because of its large expanse of uninterrupted sail. Large Roks require a moderate amount of setup, usually the center spar and two bow lines. If you want a shorter storage length the cross spars can be broken down also.

(If you use this kite send your comments about it for inclusion below.) User Comments: David Hunt-A 7 foot tall Rok was the first large kite I ever flew. It was a very steady flier but needed a tail in higher winds. The Rok could be launched without assistance by releasing it from the hand if the winds were strong or by playing out a length of line and placing the kite face down with the top pointed toward the flier. You could not launch the kite by standing it on end because the kite would almost immediately roll until the top was pointed down.
