Ranked #9,080 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #117,971 overall
It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a... Mouse Pointer!?
I've seen and flown some beautiful kites, but if I could get my hands on this baby, even my two-masted full-rigged ship kite would never leave the house. No, these images aren't Photoshopped!
The Cursor Kite (Mouse Pointer Kite, Arrow Kite) is the creation of Tim Elverston of WindFire Designs. His web page proclaims it as the first of the WindFire OS Series™, so keep your eyes open for more famous desktop icons in the skies!

- Unforgettable Silhouette
- State-of-the-Art Engineering
- Guaranteed to Draw a Crowd
- Unique -- There's Only One (sob)!

- I think the cursor kite is cool, but I don't believe it can beat your two-masted full-rigged ship kite, for my taste. I'd love to see a photo of that one! :)

I have a balsa wood and nylon sail ship kite, and it's one of my absolute favorites. It's the same design as this one, but with rainbow sails instead of a Jolly Roger. :)
