Take two sticks of equal length. At a point on the upright or spine stick,
one-fifth of the length from the top of the spine, place the center of the cross
or bow stick and fasten it there.
Bend the bow so that the curve is as perfect
as possible, and fasten it with a string. Then string the kite as you would an
ordinary diamond kite. Mr. Woglom uses piano wire for the bow, and silver-plated
copper wire for guys running around the kite from end to end of the sticks. Few
boys, however, have access to such material, and string will answer their
purpose.
