Brasington Butterfly Kite

$75.00
SKU: 5641
Wind Speed: 4-18
Manufacturer: ITW

Inspired by nature, designed by Brasington.

While they appear fragile, butterflies are amazingly strong. Robert Brasington has tried to replicate these traits in his Butterfly kite. The kite looks to be delicate but is a strong flyer, able to handle a wide range of wind conditions.

The almost weightless 9-ft. organza tails make it a steady flier in 4 to 18 mph winds. Made of ripstop nylon with fiberglass spars. Measures 5’-9” x 2’-3”, and includes a 40” case.

Use 50-lb. Dacron line.

Just arrived tonight and what a beautifully made kite! When you hold it up to the light it looks like a stained glass window! Thank you Into the Wind and Mr Brasington for your amazing work on this wonder!

This Kite Is Very Much A Legend As Its Designer!

Deceivingly simple in design, hardy against a wide wind range due to its easily adjustable bridle, and highly stunning against either a clear blue sky or against grey cloud cover. Following some of Robert's advisements, I managed to figure out a way to create a stacked kite train w/ (5) of these Brasington Butterflies in an awesome flight formation. Robert designed this kite w/ fiberglass wing battens that support the leading edge wing spreaders and the spine's dihedral, all which bow the kite perfectly when assembled and precludes any need for a tensioned bow line behind the wings. Neat, simple, clean, super effective. Thank you, Robert!

Unbelievable!

Great colors, easy to assemble/disassemble in the field. Flies in the lightest of winds, yet can handle higher wind speeds as well. Robert Brasington designed this to appear as though made of stained glass in flight w/ the sunlight beaming through from the back. Start your Brasington collection w/ this Butterfly; it is an amazing flier & an equally amazing value from a world-renowned designer!
