or tie a string (40 cm) through two holes in the sail (5 cm from upper and lower end).
tie the kitestring to this string, where the upper part is around 15 cm and the lower 25 cm.
Find out the right position by testing the flight outdoor on a big grass-field.
Don´t forget to tie a tail with bows o out of 3 or 4 long strips of paper zo the bottom Corner.
It should be almost 5 times as long as the kite (1,5 m).
if it´s to short, try 8 times as long as the kite (2,4 m).
