Learn how to make a Paper Sode kite with these easy-to-follow instructions. Fully illustrated with close-up photographs, every step of the way.
These instructions take you step-by-step through making a small but high-flying Sode kite. All from several pieces of A4 or Letter size copier paper and some sticky tape!
This kite performs well in Gentle to Moderate wind speeds. That's from 12 to 28 kph or from 8 to 18 mph. Even quite a small child should be able to hang on to the winder once the kite is up.

Every kite in every MBK series.
Note: What if the paper is too dark to see through? Just poke a hole through each dot with a needle so you can see where to put a dot on the unmarked side!
Note1: The lines in the photo are enhanced so you can see them easier.
Note2: 2 of the dots on the center-line are not connected by any line.
Note: Only the arrow distances need to be accurate – the distances from the middle and from the sides can be done by eye from the photo.
Note: The distances to the edges of the paper don't matter. Just measure as indicated, from bottom left.
Note: Use a ruler to verify the rectangles are perfectly lined up before applying the tape!
