SOLO is 300' long, at a cost of about 60 thousand..
It was teathered to two Bobcat tractors.

Wow that is a lot of money to make solo

[@brodiesammis3116]

I have never seen a kite this big but he is so huge he looks so good

[@brodiesammis3116]

That takes a lot of work to lift solo of the grass and it’s especially easy to bring it to the ground

The kite is the biggest kite in the world

[@JakeTheKiteGuy]

This octo is a beauty made by Peter lynn kites. I hate to burst your bubble but its not even close to worlds biggest. Look up mega ray kite. Its a sky filling blue stingray.

@@JakeTheKiteGuy Ho I see now
the blue stingray kite is the biggest kite because it has a huge group of people to lift the kite up

[@FLITTER2454]

ebay has some nice ones for sale, cool aren't they.

[@TebooTedMarshall]

Do you first attach a single kite to the back of the head to lift the head into the sky??

[@danokitemano9316]

It's pretty much a really expensive windsock, more than a kite because it probably wouldn't get airborne without the help of a pilot kite attached to it as evidenced here!
