I don't have photos of the first two kites I built sometime in June. I built them at the same time using wooden dowels from the hobby shop and plastic bags.
The first kite was a type of eddy kite, measuring about 24-by-36 inches. The puny dowels snapped the instant wind inflated the sails. The black garbage bag sail crumpled and twisted in the wind.
Fortunately, I had made a back-up kite, a diamond kite measuring about 18-by-24 inches. It few erratically until I doubled the length of the tails. It flew well the rest of the day.
