Hi va3paw, thanks for your question. The Grund kite can lift around 30 to 40 pounds, but a train can lift more. I've added a link to a great article in the video description above that will give you more details about this kite. Thanks!
Hi DanCeekey, check out the link in the description above to learn more about this kite. It's made from cotton, bamboo, metal fasteners and wire tension elements. Hope this helps!
Nothing like a little education! Nice info and for the early 1900s the engineering AND knowledge of winds is interesting as Man was just learning how to fly evenm though kites had been around for just a "few" years. Why the dislikes up there??

Nice video Scott.
Beautiful. In the days before modern lightweight fabric and hollow fibreglass spars, when kites were feats of old school engineering. Lovely to see.

What a beautiful kite though setting up doesn't seem evident! Is that fabric cotton?
Whats the breaking strain on the line you use??
How much weight can it carry?
One point bridle? Nice job!
Tremendous!
