KITE: 6' Rokkaku - Gary Engvall
PLAN: http://members.aol.com/kitestackflyer/rok6.html
DESCRIPTION: The 6 foot Rokaku is the most popular version as it the most commonly accepted size for Rokkaku Battles. The smaller a Rokkaku is, the more maneuverable it is. The Rokkaku is also a very forgiving design, making it an ideal project for the first time kite maker.

hi all,
Peggy and Me have build 2 Rok from Gary's plans! The plans are very clear and easy to do! Well written and I must say not much to add to the plan!

Oops. One caveat: Maggie & I are slowly weaning ourselves off of AOL and on to Cox. I haven't re-published the 6-foot Rokkaku page yet, but when I do I'll try to remember to post the URL in here. Thanks for putting it up, Steve.

I second that,
First kite I built completely as an individual (Froggakku).
Very thorough plans, easy to follow..
Thanks to Gary for a great plan!
Cheers,
