Maybe so busy in his drum shop, or in China factory... or having vacation...? Just wait, he will be back. _________________ My kites in webshots.com Back to top Chris Mile High Club Joined: 12 May 2005 Posts: 227 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Tue May 16, 2006 1:42 pm    Post subject: Ok...here it is. Bridle A (Inhaul) Total length is 222 cm with a mark at 53 cm from each end. At 111cm the bridle passes through the small hole in the center-t. Tie a small knot to keep it from pulling through. Bridle B (Outhaul) Total length is 64 cm, which includes a 8 cm loop on one end. Once the ends are tied to the frame, the mark at on Bridle A is larksheaded onto the loop of Bridle B. _________________ "Fly a kite for a child and you entertain them for the day.
