Step 3Longerons
Longerons are the spars of any kite that go front-to-back.
Take another double page of your newspaper. Roll it up tight from one vertical edge and tape together.
Make another roll of paper.
Decide which side of your sail will be facing you in flight, and place that side up. Tape one longeron on each side of the sail, where the dotted lines were in the previous step.
Notice that the end of the pice of tape folds over the edge of the sail and is stuck behind - a simple trick, but it makes the kite a lot stronger.
