The KHK Exclusive Skyscraper is a large dual-line stunt kite with a 96-inch wingspan, built from Skyshark carbon and ripstop nylon. Designed by John Trenopol as a successor to the Skyburner Widow Maker, it targets beginners through advanced pilots with a 4–20 mph wind range and yoyo stoppers for slack-line tricks. Owners rate it highly for its trickability and low-wind performance, though some find the included lines basic for advanced flying.

The Skyscraper is a dual line stunt kite with a 96" wingspan. It is based on the discontinued Skyburner Widow Maker and was designed by John Trenopol. The large size suits learning and performing advanced stunts, and the kite can be flown with or without its tail.
The sail is ripstop nylon on a Skyshark Carbon frame. The frame is stiff, durable and lightweight, so it holds its shape in sharp turns and tricks. Its light weight allows flying in winds as low as 4 mph. A weight is installed at the bottom of the spine, where the Velcro folds. It gives the kite a heavier center of gravity at the bottom, which makes stalling, landing and tricks easier. It takes some getting used to.
The bridle is adjustable. In lighter winds (4-10 mph), move the bridle knot up, closer to the kite frame. In strong winds (15-20 mph), move it down, away from the frame. Yoyo stops on each leading edge, between the upper and lower spreader, hold the lines in place for the yoyo stunt. They also suit slack line tricks.
