Purple & White

[John P]

I learned a lot on this forum about building kites so I thought I would document my second build on a new thread. Day 1 was to layout and cut the panels. I am using rip stop nylon as the primary fabric. As you may be able to see it will be a vented quad. Here is a picture of one of the panels with the vents cut out. Tomorrow the vents will get white screening.

Day 2. Added white screening to sail. This stuff is heavy so I'm interested to see how it flies. I also put together the center section. The material is something called holopoly.

Day 5, added rods and bridle. Ready for a test flight. The horizontal bridle is a bit tight pre bending the frame. That will be adjusted on test flight.
