| Marguerite Stankus is the driving force behind "JACKITE". In 1988 she designed the incredible Jackite Osprey, this is the kite that launched her company & career. In 1996 she was asked to design a kite to fly at the summer Olympics in Atlanta. She was given just eight weeks to design, develop, manufacture & deliver 275 kites. She did it & the Olympic Dove of Peace was born & flown at the opening ceremony.
Today, this beautiful bird comes alive to use as a kite, on a pole or as a windsock.
The Dove of Peace Jackite is a realistic kite made of a synthetic material called Tyvek® made by DuPont® . It has a tensile strength greater than steel. Strong, but light and thin as paper, but it isn't paper. It is environmentally safe and can be recycled just like plastic. It also lasts! It is tear resistant and waterproof. These kites can be flown traditionally as a kite, flown attached to a pole, or hung from a ceiling as a mobile indoors or out...
Pre-constructed, but some minor assembly is still required.
