Folds at the corners of the sail : C-D 10cm (4in) X 2cm (3/4in) Arc CSD 43 cm (17,25in)
The arc is made out of bamboo or a piece of fibreglass rod (2mm).
This arc must be flexible and slim for this very lively and rapid little
kite. It is glued inside the folds on the sail.
The spine, similarly, is made out of a piece of bamboo (a 2mm piece
will do the job).
Reinforce the point of the kite and adjust the bridle: you are ready
for the test flight.
