The original Mohakw
The Mohawk is a commercial freestyle sport kite designed by Robert Randolph of Airouvre. After releasing an updated version of the kite, the Mohawk XS, Robert decided to make the plans of the original Mohawk publicly available to builders. As the original version was no longer in production, this was a way to share the design with the community.
Robert announced the release on the GWTW forum on August 26, 2007

“The original Mohawk is no longer for sale. (It hasn't been for about 2 months). It was a pretty fun kite, a lot of things it did very very well, and a lot of things it did very not so well. Since I'm not making money from the kite anymore, and those who bought one seem to be quite happy with theirs, I thought it would be a nice thing to release the plans to the kite publicly.”
