A method of creating a pigmented image on a monument stone substrate includes positioning the stone relative to a laser engraving apparatus, masking the stone substrate in an image area in which the image is to be created with a first mask layer, operating the laser engraving apparatus in a pattern over the masked area at a sufficient power level to burn through the mask and pit the stone substrate with a first set of pits, applying a first layer of pigment over the image area to any remaining first mask layer in the image area and to the first set of pits, curing the first layer of pigment and removing any remaining first mask layer. Additional colors or pigment layers can be added by repeating the masking, burning and applying steps, and the final such step can be a dithered image, followed by an edge defining cutting step in which the border of the image is defined. All pigment layers are rooted in the stone. The final pigmented image is preserved with protective coatings.

A kite in the shape of an aircraft having one or more wings. The number of wings can vary due to novel V-shaped connection members employed together with strut rod members cut to predetermined lengths. The connection members are preformed V-shaped connectors slidably mounted to spar members disposed in open-ended sleeves in the leading and trailing edges of a wing and may be oriented to receive strut members form either above or below the wing, for efficiency manufacturing, ease in assembly, and minimum exposure to breakage during operation, storage and transport. Additional connection members may be added to the spar members to receive strut members connected to additional wings thereby allowing for an airplane kite having one wing, two wings, three wings, or more. Multiple-V connectors may be combined to create hubs for propellers or wheels that rotate when they encounter a front wind. Ram air openings are utilized in the fuselage of the kite to maintain the shape of the fuselage and the angles of wings. Additionally, the wings are equipped with air scoop pockets for added stability and performance under a large spectrum of flying conditions and improved appearance of the wings without requiring spars along the out edges of the wings. Similar ram air openings or air scoop pockets are utilized in the tail fin members for increased stability and flight characteristics, the tail fins receiving air from either within the fuselage or from outside the fuselage, respectively.
