I have had a soft spot for kites since I've been a kid. I remember seeing these kite messengers or ferrys like this at kite festivals years ago. This is a kite messenger based on erwinha's [Kite messenger 1.2](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:999536). Big thanks to Erwin for helping me out with this project.
It sped up the line on it's first test and works great. Honestly, the hardest part of this project was sewing the sail. [See in action here](https://youtu.be/J2dUUia1aEo). This is still a work in progress, I will probably make more revisions as I get more flight time with this model.

Both messenger body parts (front and back) were printed with MakerGeek's PLA. Use rafts for the back piece. Went pretty heavy with the infill on these parts because they receive a lot of the punishment. 4 shells with 45% infill.
For all the pushrod, center spar holder and spring stop parts i chose to use NinjaTek's Semiflex filament. I love the way this stuff prints, it's str
