Build: Yatko 3 -- bow line

I've got a bowline on Yatko 3. The 'Y' in the horizontal spar serves as an anchor so I can hook or unhook the bowline. I think it will work well.

The horizontal spar is thicker on the left side, which makes the curve a little lop sided. That will probably make the kite unstable and pull to one side.

The bridle looks balanced and should make the kite lean forward, encouraging lift. Can't wait to fly it!
