Kite building

Building a kite, we will look at it in 4 main stages.

We start with making the sail. In 20 steps we'll show you one of the ways to make a sail for a trick kite.

Then we will make the frame. We will show you how to saw the spars and how to put all the connectors in place. Finally we show you how to get the spars into and onto the kite the easy way.

The third step is how to make the bridle and how to knot the bridle to the frame. You will learn all the special (easy!) knots we use to hold the bridle in place.

Concluding we explain about how to put weight into your kite's tail to have that special balance during flight that allows all those amazing tricks.

You can look at any of the stages by clicking on the left side on the according picture. On each page we have put a link on top of the page to zap between the stages.

 

 

Success with building your kite,
