I never thought of pictures, but it was your basic diamond kite with the PVC pipe for the spine and crossbow. I used a painter's clear plastic drop cloth for the skin and spray painted it orange so it would be visible. I made a two handed spindle for the cord from a broomstick and used 100 pound fishing test line for the cord. I got it way up there too and it was all I could do to hold onto it. What failed was that I had used multiple spools of fishing line I tied together with square knots and two of the segments pulled apart. I don't know where it landed, but I'm sure it got someone's attention. :) * * *
