riffclown Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 OK but they are kind of "meh" until I get to the pattern reveal. Hopefully Tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejay Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think it will look great , however I don't understand the process well enough to know exactly what's happening, anxious to see what happens next. Ej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 While it still very rough at the moment imagine here being the leading edge.. Turn it to the proper angles and you can see roughly the right wing of the kite.. Still a long ways to go aligning and building the center but this should help visualize where the pattern is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
