so i want to try and respar one of my kites. i have seen 2 different standoff designs for this kite. one with a spar running down to the inner side spar and one with a thin bending spar from the wing to the center spar pushing the fabric into an arch. i was thinking about cutting a spall hole in the fabric and putting a whisker right in the middle. any suggestions? if it works well with one i might do a handful for a large group fly for a film im working on.

as you can kinda see this is one way they did it and it worked super well. its the newest way they did it. but i was going to just poke a hole to expose the middle side spar. then just use modern style standoffs... i have a few extras to play with.
