I have an enquiry regarding an instruction given on p.71 - after stitching on the loops from Dacron band we are told to :- 'On the corners C stitch a small piece of spinnaker cloth crosswise.' My question's are 1. What purpose does this have - these pieces are not mentioned again? 2. Are they sewn down completely or what? 3. Exactly where crosswise at corners C? Have I missed something or have the authors? Any other tips regarding the construction of this kite, I have read about so many flaws in Stunt Kites II that I suspect there could be some in this earlier volume, the discussion of which may have occured long ago before I started taking this newsgroup. Thanks in advance for any help- contributions.
