John P Posted February 18, 2021 Report Posted February 18, 2021 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. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote
John P Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Posted February 18, 2021 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. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote
John P Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Posted February 19, 2021 Day 3, combined 2 half's with the center section. Added corner reinforcement and edge binding. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote

The horizontal bridle is a bit tight pre bending the frame. That will be adjusted on test flight. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 2 Quote
