Step 4The Bridle
Cut a piece of string about four times as long as the kite is wide (corner to corner).
Turn the kite longerons-down, and attach the string from corner to corner, using tape at each corner.
Tie the ends of the bridle together to make a loop. A reef knot (I think US readers may call it a square knot) is fine for this. The bulk of the loop should be in front of the kite.
Note that I have attached the string waaaay off-centre. This prevents the knot from obstructing the flying line when we attach it later.
