Changes: Tom Kuhn Flying Camel

Revision as of 06:35, 3 April 2007

The Tom Kuhn Flying Camel is another laser-carved variation of the classic No Jive 3-in-1 modular design. The Flying Camel is one of the few with the carvings on the flat sides, so that they are visible when the yo-yo is in the butterfly configuration. (There was a Flying Camel C, where the "C" stood for classic shape, but they are rare.)

Tom Kuhn came up with the name while backpacking in 1978, when he saw a cloud which reminded him of a flying camel.

Most have the words "Tom Kuhn Laser Carved" on them, but a few early examples had "Tom Kuhn 3-in-1 Wonder Yo-Yo".
