DENIS

We have learned kites a lot. I have already made 7  kites. Of course, not all of them flew  for our mistakes. I want to tell you about our experience:

1.  Our first kite was broken very soon. The reason was very simple - the center of kite should be very reliable.

     This center is the place where laths are crossing:                         

2. After wasting many meters of paper we understood that light polyethylene will be more useful for covering the kites.

3. Also we found out that laths can be easily joined with the help of thread with glue.

4. Box kites can be flew during low wind too. For example right angled kite with wings fly very well.

5. Thoroughly follow instructions and drawings. For example, in the construction of rhombic kite we used laths with section 8mm*8mm instead of needed laths with section 15mm*15mm. This kite was very brittle and  fall down and "died". It was so sad............
