Next take the 2 meter long piece of line for
rigging between tail / wing and between spine /
outer tail tips. Cut off (2) 40 cm pieces. Set aside
the remainder. Using about 10 cm, form a loop in
one end by tying an overhand knot. The loop
should be about 5 cm long. Lark's head it over
the tail spreader rod behind the stubby nock. You
may super glue it to the rod. Now thread the
other end of the line through the eyes of the
flattened hook and make the sliding tensioner
knot. Repeat with the other line. The tail rod is
done and may be put into the kite and the hooks put through the lower wing loop rings.
The tensioning line attached to tail spreader rod hooks
to lower wing loop.
Framing lines at spine and outer tail:
Using the
remaining piece of line you set aside, find the center
and lark's head it to the ring on the spine line. This
piece is approximately 120 cm long.
