Kite (Continued)
Method 2: The Classic Scott
Sled Kite
Attach the bridle
The bridle attaches to the outermost edges of
the kite fabric (where the corner cuts were made).
Before attaching the bridle itself, you'll
reinforce the points where the bridle is attached
to the kite fabric.
- Put squares of cloth tape on both of the
outermost edges of the kite fabric. Consult
the diagram for optimum placement. Trim the tape
to match the contour of the plastic edge.
- Use the small grommet tool to place a
grommet a half-inch in from edge of the fabric,
where it forms the "point" on both side flaps.
- Take the six-foot piece of fishing line
and fold it in half to find the center. Mark
the centerpoint. Tie the swivel into the line at
the centerpoint with an overhand knot.
- Thread each end of the fishing line
through each of the grommets. Loop this end
around to the front and tie it off, Include the
side of the fabric in the tie-off. Your bridle
is now formed, and your kite is finished!
To fly the kite, attach your kite line to
the swivel in the middle of the bridle, and go find
some wind!
