  • Q.U.A.C.K.     Bob Lovejoy's Quite Unuusal American Canard Kite  pictured in Popular Science, May, 1974  was a proper kite and proper paraglider and proper hang glider, as it was a gliding kite.  Caption of photograph in 1974 issue of Popular Science: "Quicksilver to Q.U.A.C.K. --Bob Lovejoy rearranged the former's parts to create his "Quite Unusual American Canard Kite."" Horizontal stabilizer is up front, rudder is on top, wing has fixed leading and trailing edges, but no ribs."

    Was Bob inspired by the Wright Brothers' kiting and canard?
