Cant find it in Cote Ci Cote La.

Fighter kites originated in India and I gues that the tradition probalby came to T&T when the indentured workers came (i doh know dis for a fact so doh call me names)

But I found this on a kite web site

Then a paste made of glue and finely powdered glass is thinly spread on the thread in a special way to make the 'Dor'.

from dinki and common to mad bull and singing angel.. I was ah borse... af few years back I made one for my daughters (mad bull) talk bout people come up asking whey I buy it..  my younger brother was ah real kite man though..he even knew how to make box and angel kites. The hardest part of the whole kite thing was tying the compass.. it took some skill.

Ah few years back my cousin who lives between brazil and here brought back ah kite from brazil.. fellas who've seen those brazillian kites in action will know what I mean.. ah skilled man could make that friggin kite dance... the absolute bess moves I eva see on a kite.. ah think it had some sort of sliding compass.


ah think ah was about 10 when I find some lady magazines ... dais when I took flying kite the the next level.. even nasa wanted meh to fly for dem oui... ah get tennis elbow at an early age.
