Yes, the Taz has 1/4" wood spars. They work really well except when landing on wet sand. It is very much like landing on cement. We found this out the hard way (no pun intended) during our frolic in the rain. We didn't have much flying time but we more than made up for it by our enthusiasm and spirit.
Did you enjoy the pics?? I am such a silly gal.

Nice picture Ronda. Nice graphic too.
Does the Tyvek gets heavier in fog or rain?

I haven't weighed it but I would guess that the water sits on the surface unlike fabric kites that have the tendency to soak up the wetness. Just a guess.
