For this Dopero, you need four 30cm (12") bamboo BBQ skewers for the spars. The photo shows all the spars laid over the sail, before being snipped to length with scissors.
Be careful that the horizontal spars don't slip up or down the vertical spar while the glue is still wet.
20 to 50 pound strength Dacron line is suitable for all the Skewer Series kites.
( If you purchase the kite line recommended below I may receive a small commission - at no extra cost to you )
Do you need some kite line? This 3-pack of simple winders with 300ft lines from Amazon should be ideal. They are all ready to go with 50 pound line. This strength is good for bridles and flying lines for all the MBK kites up to the 1.2m (4ft) sizes.
My instructions for connecting a flying line don't mention swivel clips, but the swivels included in this product are good and strong. So go ahead and use them if you want to :-) Otherwise they can just be snipped off.
The kite should now look like the photo.
As mentioned earlier, there's more kite-making on this site than you can poke a stick at :-)
