The mauly is known as a "binder clip" in the US.

One more thing that you should do next time oyu write an instructable, is stick to words in the title that actually describe the project. A micron is 1E-6 m, I hightly doubt that your kite is infact that small, I was really looking forward to making a tiny kite :( (good job though)

Does it fly?

actually only in windy days you can use it in calm days by cutting or reducing the tail depending in the situatiion

this instructable doesn' make any sense at all...

I think that using the word "Micro" would be better, because it gennerally used for small things. Even if they are not 1/10,000 (or is it 100,000?)
