Abstract

A toy kite has the general form of a hang glider and has a tow line which is releasable from the kite when in flight by slackening the tension in the tow line. Spars of the kite frame are hinged together by unitary plastic hinges and the frame can be folded and erected by moving a slider along a main spar. A pilot figure suspended in a harness below the kite is adjustable to alter the trim.
