I LOVED those bat kites! Flying them on the beach in Cape May - fun times.

Ditto! They were so modern, and they worked really well. Bulletproof (as much as a kite can be).

But my favorite kite memories are from when I lived in Bangkok as a boy in 65-7. The kite festivals were crazy. So many amazingly large and complex kites. We loved watching and participating.

Long time kite lover here too. Just got back a few weeks ago from the Outer Banks beaches and the kite flying was phenomenal! I have a very similar kite to the Bat kite which is essentially a flying wing. My rip stop nylon Flying Wing kite spooled out crazy fast and flew up into the clouds! Great time…

Awesome Aircraft!
 
The 1st Telecaster prototype was designed in 1943 when Leo Fender, along with partner Clayton Orr “Doc” Kaufmann, built an instrument that sent shockwaves around the country scene in their native Fullerton, California.
The instrument in question came about more by accident than design. A crude, solid bodied wooden guitar, it was constructed as a test-rig for the pair’s electromagnetic pickups.
