Subject: A stitch in time

Rather like Marty Sasaki, I am trying to build a power kite for
buggying, in the hope that when it is finished I will also have
money for a buggy.  I think that Martys may turn out a bit better
made than mine :-)

I am working to my own design, but I do need to steal one idea,
what is a good method of connection of kite skin to bridle line ?

Oh, and incase this all fails, are there any plans available anywhere
for buggy friendly power kites ?  Somthing other than flexi clones ?

Regards

Andy

All this (Sputnic 4 for traction, bridle detail plus also buggy plans) is
answered in Stunt Kites II.   Tradewinds will have it in stock any moment
now...
