These AVI files show the hand movements in a small frame which is set inside the larger frame of showing what the kite is doing. The files are grouped according to the kite used as different amounts of movement are used for each Kite. Where possible I will include the wind strength and the kites position in the window. Most files are in AVI or WinZip format .
