    Line the plastic


    connector over the
    Hole in the middle of the star

    Notice the spar


    is lined up with
    the hole at the
    tip of the star point!
    Place 1" of tape
    about 1 " above
    the plastic
    connector.

    Tape each point to each spar.


    Using about 1 1/2 - 2"
    pieces of tape.
    Put 1/2 of the tape on the
    art side of the kite and then
    fold the other half over to the
    back side of the kite, taping
    the spar to the kite sail.

    Rub the
    tape
    down to
    seal
    properly.

    Tape tail on each leg

    1 Kite-1 winder
    Run this line through
    the hole in the kite and
    plastic connector
    Front to back.

    Tie the rubber band to the


    string at the back of the kite

    Your Kite is ready to Fly!

    Multiple Kites, 1Winder = Kite Train

    Mark your flying line


    every 36" with a marker

    The kites will be held by the rubber band (and wind) at each
    of these marks, plus 1 kite tied off at the end of the string.
    Put as many of the kites you want on a winder up to 10
    kites/winder. More kites than that and we strongly
    recommend you invest in stronger flying line.

    Run the string through


    all of the kites you wish
    to train, front to back.
    The Winder must be in
    the front of all the kites!
    Attach the Rubber band
    at each of the marks,
    in between the each
    of the kites

    Start with the very end


    of the string and tie on
    the first Rubber band.

    Leave 1 kite with this end knot.


    Move the rest of the kites up the line
    just past the black mark on the line.

    Attach a Rubber band to the string


    Pull the string through the rubber
    band and then
    the rubber band
    back through the
    string loop you just
    made.
    Repeat as
    necessary.

    Have fun!
