How to properly assemble a flying kite. The best kite designs. Kite packing, assembly

Instructions

Please select right place to launch the kite. An open area of 40 by 40 meters will be quite enough. Make sure that the area is not overcrowded with people, and there are no wires or obstacles to the wind, such as hills, houses or trees, that make the wind speed and direction unstable. The ideal place to launch would be the seashore with a wind blowing from the water.

Make sure the wind is strong enough to fly the kite. The grass under your feet and tree branches should move noticeably, and ripples should be visible in the water. If the wind is not strong enough, the kite can break, and the wind blowing in your face will make the launching process uncomfortable and destroy all the fun.

Determine the direction of the air currents by exposing your face to the wind, or by looking at grass, branches, flags, or smoke.
Ask a friend to take the kite in his hands and unwind the rope 20 meters towards the wind. With your back to the wind and facing the snake, pull the rope lightly. At your request, your friend must release the snake. In strong winds, stay in place, as the kite itself must climb up. If there is not enough wind near the ground, run back a little until you feel the kite that caught the wind tearing up.

Hold the snake in your hands or get help from a friend. Begin to step back without unrolling the line all the way. When the serpent climbs maximum height corresponding to the free part of the rail, pull it to the ground and, fixing the rail at the bottom, begin to retreat back, thereby again raising the kite to the maximum height. Repeat this maneuver several times to reach a height where the wind will allow the kite to climb into the sky without your help. Use this method in light or uneven winds, or when there is not enough launch space.

Assembling a kite is fun but challenging. You will need to fasten a bridle, a rail on its body and tie a thread-rope. There are designs of kites without a rail or without a bridle - each of them has its own assembly features.

Instructions

The first kites were invented in China in the 2nd century BC. At first they were only used for entertainment. Since the 17th century, snakes have been used for atmospheric research, meteorological observations, ascent to the height of radio antennas, etc.

Usually, the set of kites made on kites includes the frame itself with a synthetic canvas stretched over it, a spool with a thread-line, a rail and a bridle. The rail is a metal or plastic rod, and the bridle is used to connect the snake to the handrail (often the bridle is called a bind - in accordance with its purpose).

To assemble the kite, grasp the frame and insert the bridle into the holes provided for it. Depending on the design of the kite, the bridle can have one or more attachment points, have a keel and adjusting rings.

Turn the frame over with the back facing you and thread the rail into the loops or holes at the ends of the bridle.

Look for the grooves on the frame located along the edges of the canvas. Thread the ends of the rail into these slots. Please note that the rail should be located "on the back" of the kite, and not on the side to which the rail is attached.

Flip the bobbin right-side up and tie the bobbin thread to the bridle. In case the kite has a tail, secure it.

If there is no rail included in the kit, simply fix the bridle in the holes provided for it, attach the rail to it and secure the tail.

Hello again everyone! Finally, warmth has come to us, and along with this, our most favorite entertainment - picnics in nature, family outdoor activities and conscientious feeding of mosquitoes - moved into life with a slender gait. But we somehow learned to cope with the latter by all means. With picnics and a menu by the fire, we will someday deal with it seriously. But today we have on the agenda: active games with kids. One of them is launching a kite into space. Therefore, I declare the creative workshop open. And very soon there will be a kite with its own hands, drawings with dimensions. Forward?

Materials and tools that can be used for construction

The whole beauty of this craft is that with any material that you have at home, you can choose for yourself suitable model... And I will convince you of this now!

First, I'll give you a small illustrative example... Windy weather periodically occurs in cities. This is when the wind blows and blows for days on end, blowing away everything that lies not so. Soar up different lungs items, absolutely, like down from the balconies rips all sorts of things. But one day the wind dies down. And the period begins. Which I call " Chinese lanterns". Indeed, the trees are neatly "decorated" with plastic bags. And why? Yes, because all these windy days the bags were worn on their own, no worse than gliders. Got the idea? Then I will develop it.

What can be used to build an aircraft:

from paper;
cellophane bag;
thin tracing paper;
an old umbrella;
from fabric;
and even newspapers and magazines will be used.

So, look around and you will realize that you have the most basic material. But what else is needed in order to make the construction:

Main material;
Thin trims. These can be hollow metal rods, bamboo sticks, or branches of grapes (they are lighter than usual);
Scotch tape or glue;
Rope, fishing line, or strong thread;
Spool to adjust the length of the thread;
Scissors.
Pattern.

I want to say right away that the model, as well as the complexity of the craft, will depend on how old our little one is, for which we are making. And the conditions under which we do it. For example, if the baby is very, very small, and cannot run across the field, launching a snake, but we want to give him new emotions, or, if we are already in open field, and before that we did not plan to create anything, therefore we do not have even half of the list from the materials, you can still come up with something.

Ideas and DIY

Craft for kids

For example, here's the most basic, but no less cool, craft:

take a simple plastic bag t-shirt;
tie the handles in the middle with a thread.

It remains to catch the wind! It is so simple! But believe me, the little one will be delighted. Moreover, you will not have to run too much, the kite will “puff up” and take off, as soon as the breeze touches it. True, it will not fly high, but children under 5 will still be interested in it.

But let's talk about something more difficult that can be done at home with our helpers.

A paper kite that flies high in 5 minutes

This option seemed to us the easiest and fastest, so we immediately made it with the first wind. I liked it very much, and my son, and even my husband, although he was very skeptical.

Details in our video:

The simplest kite design

All the same package, or rather, I will describe with the package, but instead of it you can use any of the above materials.

We need:

Package - 1-3 pcs. (depending on their size);
Wooden sticks (choose light ones) - 2 pcs.;
Scotch;
Knife and scissors;
Fishing line;
Glue;
Marker;
Coil;
Strong rope.

Manufacturing:

We cut off the sticks so that we have one 60cm, and the second 35. Fold them crosswise. The one that is shorter, we put on the long one, stepping back 15 cm from above. We fix them by bandaging with tape.
We cut each edge of the stick in the middle to a depth of 1 cm. wrap with tape under the incision. This will make the structure more durable.
We stretch the fishing line into the cuts and stretch.
We wrap the tape several times to secure the fishing line.
We fold the bags, perhaps if they are too small, they will have to be firmly glued to each other to get the right size. On top of the cellophane "canvas" we put the "skeleton" and draw a circle around it. Adding 1.5 cm on each side of the cellophane tucking, cut out the base.
We attach the frame to the base and tuck the edges. We fix them with tape.
We tie a 50 cm fishing line to one and to the second edge of a short stick.
We also tie a 25-40cm rope to the top of the model. Its length will depend on the slope of the kite you choose. If you want the structure to fly almost horizontally, then its length should be minimal; vertically - maximum.
We tie the middle of the fifty-centimeter fishing line to the line that is fixed at the top.
We tie a rope to the junction of the lines. We fix it firmly with scotch tape.
We decorate our balloonist. One more rope, small, about half a meter, on which cute bows are tied, we tie to the lower end of the frame.

Draw a picture on the "front" side of the base.

According to the same scheme, but with different materials of construction. It uses cocktail tubes, paper and rope.

Parchment paper serpent

For work you will need:

parchment paper 36 * 51 cm;
wooden sticks or light slats: 2 x 60 cm, 48 cm and 36 cm;
colored crepe paper;
strong thread;
reel with line;
glue stick and PVA;
small metal ring;
scissors.

Fold a piece of parchment in half so we marked the middle line. Place the smallest stick along the top edge of the narrow side of the rectangle, stepping back a centimeter from the edge. Lubricate the free edge of the sheet with glue and wrap it so that the stick is inside, it should be tightly fixed.

Lubricate a 48 cm long stick with PVA and glue to the center line of the workpiece.

Place the remaining sticks on the diagonals of the rectangle.

Glue them with pieces of paper, as shown in the photo.

Cut squares or arbitrary shapes out of colored paper and stick to the front of the rectangle.

Make a hole on both sides of the intersection of the diagonals.
Tie the ends of the sticks along the upper corners of the rectangle with pieces of thread, pulling them slightly.

Tie a long piece of string to the upper right corner of the kite. String a ring on the thread, it will help you control the flying machine. Then pass the thread through the holes previously made in the center of the rectangle and again pass it through the ring. Tie the end of the thread to the upper left corner of the garment.

Tie the end of the line firmly to the control ring.

Glue long strips of corrugated paper to the bottom of the kite. These "tails" will help him balance in the air currents. Their optimal size 5cm * 2.5m.

The air wanderer is ready to surprise you with its flight characteristics. Enjoy your flight!

Rokkaku Serpent

More serious construction.

Convenient snake coil

Draw a circle with a diameter of 20 cm. Cut two of these blanks out of cardboard. Cut some comfortable finger slots on them, they should match exactly on both circles.

Cut several strips 2.5 cm wide.

Mark the inner circle, use a pair of compasses or a suitable template.

Roll the cut strips along the contour of the cutouts, glue with hot melt glue.

Glue the inner ring in the same way.

Glue the second circle on top of it.

Glue the end of the long thread to inner surface spools and wind the thread.

So that it does not get confused, tie a match to its end, fix it with glue. Thread the thread through the slot on the outer ring.

With such convenient device your flying kite will conquer not only the sky, but also the hearts of your children.

Mechanical bird

Not exactly a kite, but it also flies. And even without the motor and wind. Make such homemade toy anyone can do it, you don't need special skills and tools. All you need is kebab skewers, paper clips, super glue and polyethylene. Such a mechanical bird is very light and strong, it is very interesting to play with it.

As you can see, everything is very simple and feasible! I wish you fruitful cooperation with your baby in creating a snake! Also, have a great launch! I hope you can tell us about your weekend in nature and whether you managed to amuse your baby (and yourself too; I am still delighted with the flights of this wingless "beast"). I say goodbye to new meetings and remind you to sign up for myself and my friends!

What could be better than a wide open field, warm light wind and a kite dancing in the air?

We present you with a tutorial that will be useful for all novice pilots. There will be some science, physics, history and culture here. For adults, this is a chance to plunge into youth again.

Flying a kite is fun, but only if you know how.

Here the kite behaves calmly and with minimal effort. It is mainly used for short breaks while driving. The perimeter of the window. This is the area where you need to land. Flight area. This is the so-called "power zone" in which the wind exerts the greatest pressure on the kite.

Kneel on the ground for the wind to blow from your back. Spread the kite out as its nose is towards you and the belly is up. This position will push the kite to the ground. Once you have assembled the kite, turn it on so that it lies on its "belly" with the nose on the ground. Move in the direction of the wind as you unwind the ropes.

Environment

Kites love open space... The more open the place you have chosen to fly, the better the kite.

The wind that has to bend around trees, buildings or hills becomes rough and rough. This is "turbulence".

You will not be able to see it, but it will be difficult for the kite to fly and perform tricks in such conditions.

Note. Kites that open for the first time require a little "exercise" before they can reach their full potential. The seams and knots should lie and the fabric should stretch well. Depending on the strength of the wind, this can take 1-4 hours. Body posture As with other sports, body posture is very important to driving success. Stretch the ropes and keep them parallel to each other. Stand lightly with your arms crossed at the elbows and forward. Depending on the strength of the wind and the size of the kite, be prepared to move forward when flying the kite.

Therefore, the first advice is to choose a place as far as possible from all kinds of obstacles that interfere with the smooth passage of the wind.

Have you all heard of the Kite-Eater Trees?

Make sure there are no trees in the path of the kite, they do not greatly interfere with piloting, but a kite passing by may get caught in the air flow around the tree. As a result, he will get stuck between the branches and he will have to call the fire brigade to save the poor fellow ...

It is like pulling ropes. Often beginners open their hands or raise them. This is the wrong position, so the kite is more difficult to control. Another common mistake is over-handing. There is no reason for this. Regardless of the direction the kite is traveling, keep your arms parallel to each other when you hold the wheel on the bike.

Control If you pull the rope in your right hand, the kite turns right if you pull left-left. Keeping the hands in a neutral position, the kite continues in its current direction until it reaches the edge of the window. When handling the kite, first try to store it several times, near the zenith. Use slow, relaxed movements until you know it. If the kite is spinning and twisting your ropes, don't worry, keep steering. Modern ropes allow multiple turns without affecting the ability to drive.

And of course, stay away from dangerous objects like highways or power lines.

Best Places to Launch a Kite - Large open field, park or beach. The more open space you find, the more fun and less trouble you will get.

Wind

A kite needs wind to fly. How strong depends on the type of kite you are going to launch.

Here are some numbers that might impress observers. They are in a difficult position in four categories. For more information on each of them, you will need to get more information online. The power kite is usually an aerodynamic wing made of high quality material and controlled by the rudders. When steering and maneuvering the kite, different levels of force are generated in the control beams. When the kite inflates its aerodynamic forms, it forces it to move forward and rise.

Some are heavy and therefore require strong winds. Others are specially designed for flying in light winds.

However, most kites are designed for use in the medium range of 1.5 - 5 m / s.

In most cases, you can determine the strength of the wind yourself, guided by your own feelings or by observing the behavior of leaves on trees. If the leaves barely move, then most likely it is a too weak wind, and if the tree is swaying entirely and you can hear the canvas flag fluttering, then it is even too strong.

The rope steer keeps the kite at an appropriate angle to the wind, thereby achieving the speed and power of the kite. The larger the boom, or as soon as the kite moves, or the stronger the wind, the more thrust is generated. The fighter who operates the kite takes full responsibility for the safety of himself and others during the flight.

The wind window is the area in which the kite flies without pushing the fighter into the air. This window generates variable and another direction of movement, maneuvering change. The force decreases sharply as the kite approaches this window. If you are not sure what force will be generated, a safe kite will be released.

Also, you can use special devices to measure the strength of the wind.

Experienced pilots eventually get used to assessing the wind by eye on the effect on the surrounding objects.

Kite

There are many types of kites. Each type is originally designed for specific purposes.

To keep the kite safe, keep the kite on the edge of the windshield and maneuver it from you to the power zone. If your skills do not allow you to control the kite, modern kites have a safety system that allows you to reduce the attractiveness of the kite without leaving the kite.

This kite is designed to create significant attraction. However, in humans, the classification of kites according to their use and the name of the kites has arisen more often. Kite sports of this power were widespread much earlier than water damage. They ride on a hard surface. These sports are very close to kiteboarding, kitesurfing and snowboarding and are equally attractive and give a huge dose of adrenaline.

These can be simple diamond-shaped (diamond), triangular (delta), box-shaped (box), inflatable (parafoil) or controlled sports with two or four handrails.

Before launching, check if your kite is suitable for the current wind force, if the snake needs a tail, if the rope is firmly attached.

What is the difference between two ropes and four?

At the same time, these are the only types of shaking when it comes to summer and winter. Kayaks with two ropes are controlled in the simplest way without the possibility of stopping the kite. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the possible maximum wind speed and the energy that it generates. Four-course kites have more control and are most suitable for active mating such as bumpy, roller or snowboarding.

The top ropes are strength ropes. By driving them, the kite is controlled and its energy is generated. The lower ropes are braking ropes that allow you to vary your travel speed by pushing them towards you. Brake cables also make it easier to control runways and takeoffs.

If everything is in order, you are ready to launch.

Launch

Running with a kite is fun, but not too smart, you can't watch where you are running and enjoy the sight of a flying kite at the same time.

Such a frivolous approach can lead to trouble for both you and the kite.

What is the difference between 4 wire rope control cables and 4 wire rope feeders?

The four rope handles allow you to control the kite safely, easily and precisely with maximum maneuverability. Four rope handles allow you to suspend the kite, hold it in the air, flip the kite or lower it safely to the ground. If the kite has landed with its nose on the ground, the kite can be flipped by pulling on the brake ropes and then lifted back into the air. This kite control is most suitable for bumpy landing, snowboarding or leisure.

The four rope lane usually has a special safety system that allows you to lift and release the kite. Aitvaro's power is distributed equally to both arms, so it's easier to fly, but at the same time you have less control over the kite. This is due special department bar and rope system, which can be adjusted to different lifting power and wind speed. Raising the bar will increase the power of your kite.

Instead, try a smarter approach.

Stand with your back to the wind and lift the kite as high as you can. Make sure the snake is looking straight up and release it easily. Do not overdo it, do not try to "throw" the kite into the sky, just let it go and let it fly up on its own.

If the wind is strong enough, the kite will rise into the sky and start flying. Pull the rope slowly and the kite will fly back towards you.

You will need an energy kite, a helmet with a hinge post, a board, a trapeze, a life jacket

Using a kite hood type requires a trapezoid. Damage is an extreme sport, so we recommend starting with a kite kite. You will not only learn how to safely manage changes, but also get acquainted with the creators of kites, kite models. Experienced instructors will help you choose the right equipment.

Each manufacturer has several types of kites in its range.

For several years he was named the king of the surf kite category. This kite gives you a great feel for the caving waves.

Then, before it touches the ground, release the line and the snake will rise up again. All you have to do is repeat this process until the kite is caught in a steady stream of wind.

In light winds, you may need a friend's help. Ask him to hold the snake at a distance of 15-20 meters from you and release him as soon as you pull the rope. The kite should rise into the sky just as if you released it yourself in a stronger wind. Soon, the kite will rise to the zone of stronger wind and the difference will disappear altogether. At the same time, you will look much "smarter" than people running around trying to help the snake take off.

Flight control

Watch the kite continuously as it flies. If something goes wrong, you will have time to do something to avoid aggravating the situation up to the breakdown of the structure. Don't be tempted to let go of the line too much: 30-60 meters is enough. At long distances, it is quite difficult to observe the flight for you and the observers around you.

If the line is loose, pull it up, if the line is too tight and the kite is unstable in the air, release it a little. The main goal is to pilot the kite, not just let it fly.

To complete the process, start slowly winding the rope around the spool. If the wind suddenly weakens, you can do it faster. As a result, throw the line together with the kite on the ground so that the line lies freely in the open space, this will soon allow it to be lifted into the air again without additional difficulties.

In strong winds, it may be necessary to attach the rope to an anchor on the ground, and wear gloves to avoid damaging your palms.

Remember that pulling the rope increases the force of the wind on the kite. If the kite is behaving unstably, there is no need to tighten the line even more, trying to bring it closer to the ground. Conversely, loosen the tension and allow the snake to rise freely higher into the sky, and only then gently pull back.

If the snake begins to rotate in a large loop closer and closer to the ground, once again, when it is close to the ground, pull it towards you, this additional effort will land the snake on the ground. At this moment, you will probably be glad that you didn’t let him go too far.

Leer

You can buy a rope in the same place as the snake itself. Quite often, snakes are supplied with a handrail, although this is not always the case.

Special handrails are usually lighter, stronger and thinner. All these qualities have a positive effect on the piloting process. Ideally, it is best to use the thinnest handrail that the particular type of kite can handle.

Setting under different strength the wind

Many snakes can be "tailored" for a specific wind force. Adjustment is carried out by changing the point of attachment of the rope to the kite. By moving the attachment point, you change the angle of the kite to the wind.

The larger the angle, the better the kite will be able to fly in strong winds, the smaller the angle will allow the kite to fly even in light breezes. Too large an angle can cause the kite to flip in the wind and break; too small will prevent the kite from flying.

Experiment! You will be surprised how such a small change can significantly affect the quality of flight.

Tail

Many kites are designed with a tail. A long tail, fluttering after the kite, serves as an undoubted decoration of the overall picture. But the tails also have practical value: the added weight to the bottom tilts the kite upward with the leading edge and provides better flight stability.

Thus, if your kite is unstable in flight, try adding a tail, and vice versa, if the kite flips and falls to the ground, you need to reduce the length of the tail or remove it altogether.

Balance is useful with tails. One tail should be attached in the center of the kite next to the rail, two tails symmetrically on the sides, also make sure they are of the same length / weight.

Problems

Even an experienced kiter sometimes encounters a tangled line or finds his kite hanging from a tall tree.

Do not panic! Keep calm and everything will be fine

A snake in a tree? Do not try to climb, if you fall, it will hurt. Yes, and do not pull the rail, it is unlikely to help, but rather harm.

It is best to let go of the line and wait for the wind to propel the kite through the tree. After that, unhook the kite from the rail and pull out the rail. back.

If your snake's line is confused with another snake's line, just walk up to the owner and say hello. Surprisingly, both tangled rails will descend to the ground directly to where you both stand.

What if the lines are intertwined on the ground? Basically, you can avoid this ambush by carefully handling them, but if it does happen, all you can do is gently unravel the ball. Life is not perfect

Does the kite fly?

Not all flights are smooth. If your kite does not take off, you may be experiencing one of the following problems:

Wrong wind. Maybe too weak or too strong. Required strength the wind depends on the kite, if there is a tail - try to unhook or attach a longer one.
Turbulence. Trying to fly a kite next to a building or a large tree? Not sure it's going to happen.
"Reconfigured". Maybe you or someone else has already driven this kite under a different wind and left it that way? Try to return it as it was.
"Whirling". If the kite is spinning circles, try adding a tail or moving the rope attachment point.
"Sluggish". If the kite does not want to rise into the air, detach the tail, move the rail attachment point. Maybe the rail got wet?
Technical difficulties. Make sure the kite is assembled correctly, read the instructions again.

Every pilot must be concerned about safety. A snake that loses control can cause physical harm to a random person.

An unrolled handrail lying unattended in the field can pose a danger to people or animals passing by.

Please be careful when piloting the snake near other people.

In particular, never fly a kite across the road, if the kite lands on the ground and the line crosses the road, it could cause a road accident. Never fly near an airport or power lines.

Be polite and courteous to your neighbors, good pilots always respect other pilots, and even strangers altogether.

Remember that the sky is a shared resource, try to be considerate of competitors for the viewer's attention.

This way you will get much more joy and pleasure!

Translation - IM "GlavZmey"

The idea of launching a ready-made kite is still in the air.

1. When choosing a place to launch a kite, you should pay attention to open areas. Any nearby obstacles to the wind, trees, stalls, statues of leaders, etc. will turn the wind off its true path and give it unnecessary twists. Ideal for sea coast kites. But if you have to catch the breeze jumping over bodies spread out on the beach, you can look at other spaces as well. The selected clearing should not be located next to a busy highway (glider pilots often run with their faces raised to the sky and pose a danger near roads) and away from power lines and airfields.

2. After slobbering your finger, find out the direction of the wind. Hand the snake to your friend, whom you prudently took with you, and yourself stand in front of him, but so that the wind blows in your back. Let the coil with the leer be in your hands. Take a few steps back while unwinding the line. Please note that a friend should not type SMS at this time: the snake should be held with both hands above his head, trying to position it perpendicular to the direction of the wind.

3. Moving 15-20 m away, shout to your friend: "Let go!" - and pull the rail towards you with a jerk. If the wind is decent, the kite will go up by itself, and you will remain standing with the coil, joyfully watching its flight. Otherwise, you will have to run a few more meters until the wind catches the kite.

4. If the kite flies only when you are running, then the wind is weak today. Even if it's a shame to admit it after the marathon distance that you just completed with a rail in your hand. In a normally blowing monsoon, the flying structure trembles in height as long as it is simply held at arm's length. Wind speed of 3-6 m / s is considered optimal for a beginner. At a lower speed, only the lightest structures will be able to rise, at a much higher speed, the kite will tear out of the hands and will be subject only to a specialist kiter.

5. If the line pulls strongly, you need to unwind the spool a little. The flight with the damping wind is regulated by pulling the kite towards itself. With a successful combination of circumstances, the snake will dangle in the air for several hours, and you will have time to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

6. To finally go home, the snake is pulled to the ground, gradually reeling in the line. Announce to the children and onlookers gathered around that today you will not start anything else except the engine of your car. Suddenly it will help them disperse.

Kites originated in ancient China in the 2nd century AD. People have learned to design various original views kites: simple and manageable, flat and voluminous, with or without a frame, in the form of a dragon, a wing, a heart, a parachute. Today kites are used not only as toys for children, but also for sports competitions and other useful purposes. The article contains master classes on creating do-it-yourself kites.

This type of snake can be of various shapes.
Aspect ratio.
According to the selected shape and size, cut out the kite sheathing from the film.
With the help of glue, first attach the side sticks to the casing, and then the intersecting ones. The tips of the sticks should protrude 3-4 centimeters beyond the edge of the sheathing.
Fasten the overlapping sticks with threads.
Leave the structure to dry.
Leaving the casing from the outside, bend the AB side and fix it in this position with threads.
Tie a thread with the sheathing to you at points A and B, the length of which, when pulled, should clearly reach the center of the sheathing at point O.
Punch 2 holes on either side of the overlapping center sticks. Pass a thread through them and tie it tightly around the sticks, leaving the length of the free edge of the thread equal to the length from point O to the middle of AB.
Tie the lower sling to the center of the upper sling, tie the rope thread to the knot connecting them.
At points C and D, attach a cotton tape with threads. Sew a tail in the middle of this tape at point M (dimensions are shown in Figure 6).

Master Class:

Prepare the slats.
According to the scheme, cut out the skin of the kite.
Glue the pieces of tape in the places shown in the figure, leaving a few centimeters of tape unsticked.
Place the center rail and secure it with tape as shown in the figure.
On the wing tips, attach a piece of adhesive tape with a free, non-glued edge.
Insert a long cross-piece between the trim and the center strip and attach it to the center strip in the middle.
Attach the ends of the cross bar to the wings of the snake with tape.
At a distance of 15 centimeters from the tip of the wing, attach another piece of tape on both sides and fasten the rail and skin.
In the tail of the snake, glue both strips 10 centimeters long with tape, as in the picture.
Using scotch tape, attach a tail from a fabric tape 3 centimeters wide and 150 centimeters long.
Pass the bridle through the holes in the sheathing at the top and bottom points, tying the thread 4 knots.
Determine a place on the bridle, holding on to which the snake will be parallel to the ground. At this point, make a loop and attach a rail.

The first mentions of self-made flying kites are found in the Chinese chronicles of the 2nd century BC. We suggest that you repeat the feat of the ancient Chinese: refuse to buy a snake in a store and make it yourself. And then mark it in your annals.

HANDMADE - A KITCHEN MASTER

1. To make the simplest flat kite, you need two thin slats made of pine, bamboo or Chinese plastic. One 50 cm, the other 30. At a distance of 15 cm from the edge of the larger rail, use coarse threads (or coarse tape) crosswise to fasten the 30-centimeter at a right angle. This will be the serpentine cross.

2. Make circular notches at the ends of the slats. Now boldly connect all the ends of the cross with a thin thread. It will give you a sense of satisfaction and a quadrangular kite frame.

3. Covering is made of thin paper, for example, tracing paper. A cut-up plastic garbage bag is a good idea. The lighter the material, the easier it will be to send the kite to the skies. Place the frame on a sheet of the selected material, trace with a pencil, leaving small allowances, and cut the shape along the contour. Now we will grease the frame with glue and stick it to the material.

4. If your package does not have a store advertisement, it doesn’t matter. The drawing is the face of the snake. With a marker, draw on it your favorite politician, the legs of a woman you know, a smiling Freddy Krueger, or just a call to take care of environment... Remember that what will be on the kite can be studied by all the neighbors in the area, and it’s good if this will raise their cultural level.

5. Now we make a bridle. One end of the fishing line is attached to point O, extends to point N and then to point P, fasten at P. (We pulled to point N to determine the length of the bridle). Another thread is fixed at point N. We measure the distance from N to P, add another 10 cm and tie this length to the center of the first thread. It is important that both halves of the long section are the same, otherwise the snake will fall to one side.

6. The tail of the kite is attached to the point G. It is customary to make it from a thin cord 3-4 m long; and several paper bows are usually glued to the tail at an equal distance from each other. The tail is needed to improve the aerodynamic qualities of the aircraft.

7. For a handrail (this is the name of the thread on which the glider pilot holds the snake), a fishing reel with line is suitable. Attach the end of the line to the bridle, and the kite is ready!

STARTED CASE - SENDING INTO THE SKY

The idea of launching a ready-made kite is still in the air.

4. If the kite flies only when you are running, then the wind is weak today. Even if it's a shame to admit it after the marathon distance that you just completed with a rail in your hand. In a normally blowing monsoon, the flying structure trembles in height as long as it is simply held at arm's length. Wind speed of 3-6 m / s is considered optimal for a beginner. At a lower speed, only the lightest structures will be able to rise, at a much higher speed, the kite will break out of the hands and will be subject only to a specialist kiter.
