HARGRAVE RAINBOW MESH BOX KITE
The HARGRAVE RAINBOW MESH BOX KITE by HQ is a contemporary tribute to the timeless Hargrave Box, originally designed by the renowned Australian inventor, Lawrence Hargrave, a visionary in the field of aviation. Hargrave‘s innovations greatly advanced our understanding of kites, serving as precursors to modern aircraft. HQ‘s interpretation of the Hargrave Box Kite delivers exceptional stability and balance when soaring through medium-strength winds, offering surprisingly robust lift. It‘s important to note that this kite is best suited for moderate conditions and should not be flown in storms or wind speeds exceeding 5 Beaufort (Bft).
