For the following kites, construction plans have been setup or are being setup as noted under each photo.

The intent was to error on the side of being overly detailed, so some areas might seem redundant to the experienced builder.

If a particular construction technique or detail doesn't work for you, certainly use what you feel most comfortable using. I feel there is no one "correct" or right way to worry about using.

Graphics and color patterns have not been included, the thought being you would want to create your own. As a suggestion, I always open the kite image in WINDOWS PAINT BRUSH or PAINT SHOP PRO, draw lines to represent different panel sizes & locations and then use the "paint bucket" or "roller" tool to flood the various kite panels with different colors until deciding upon a color pattern to use. Examples of this are shown in the various plans.

Good Luck !!!!
