Kite (Continued)
Method 2: The Classic Scott
Sled Kite
Attach the frame
This frame will make the kite fabric stiff in
one direction, but flexible in the other.
- Take the three wooden dowels and lay
them vertically on the plastic surface ten
inches apart.
- Cut small, equal sections of the plastic
packing tape to fix the ends of the dowels
to the edges of the kite fabric. Wrapping the
tape over the edge will create a strong sleeve
where the end of the dowel can reside securely.
Attach the dowels to the rest of the kite
fabric with more small sections of packing
tape. Refer to the diagram to insure correct
placement. Here's a spot that's easy to miss: go to
the bottom of the triangular vent--that's the
corner of the triangle with a 90 degree or right
angle. Tape the dowel to the fabric here as well.
