2torial #0479: Learn2 Make a Kite (Continued) Method 2: The Classic Scott Sled Kite Cut the kite fabric to size The Scott Sled is another simple kite, but more durable and convenient to transport. This kite flies well in very light breezes, so long as the line is kept taut. Refer back to the What you'll need section and collect the necessary materials. Find a spacious, clean, well-lighted workplace that you can safely make cuts on (not on wood floors or rugs). Follow the dimensions given here and detailed in the diagram below. Spread the tarp out on the floor. Use the marker and yardstick to indicate a 40" by 36" rectangle.   On the rectangle's long sides, mark off four ten-inch sections. On the short sides, make a mark ten inches from the corners as shown in the diagram.   Cut out the 40" by 36" rectangle with the razor blade and the yardstick.   Using the 10" marks as guides, cut off the corners of the rectangle. These cuts create the outline of the kite fabric. Take a look at the diagram before you start slashing away.   Use the blade and yardstick to cut out a triangular vent. Again, refer to the diagram for the correct location. This creates the final shape of the kite. What remains is to attach the kite fabric to the frame. Method 2 - Step 2
