Re: Guinness Lists New Largest Kite Record...

There's even mention of the smallest kite flown.

A kite built by Nobuhiko Yoshizuni of Kyoto, Japan, measured 10 x 8 mm
(0.04 x 0.03 in), and was flown at the Seattle Cherry Blossom and
Japanese Cultural Festival, in Washington, USA, on April 18, 1998.
Nobuhiko Yoshizuni has been building and designing kites throughout
his life and is world-renowned master kite-maker. He is a member of
the Kyoto Kite Association and of the International Friends of Small
Kites organization.
