Final Assembly

1. Use black 80# Dacron line to make loops to attach wing tips to main sail. Loops should be sized to provide approximately 1¼” between wings to main sail.

2. Outer wing tip loops must pass through 2540 end caps. Size loop to provide approximately 1” from wing tip to end cap. (See detail “A” below).

3. 2 aluminum eyelets at bottom of main sail are for bungee tensioning cord. Pass bungee cord through 2540 end cap. Pass bungie through aluminum eyelets and knot bungee enough to prevent pull through. Bungee must have sufficient tension for sail and enough free play to remove from spar.

4. Measure vertical pocket add 3½“ to length. Cut both ¼“ dowels to half that dimension. Epoxy ferrule onto one end of dowel and insert in top of pocket. Install second dowel and attach end cap.

5. Epoxy 2540 ferrule to one of the 48” rods. half insertion.

6. With all loops installed, attach 1800 end caps to both sides of loops between panels and wing tips. Install 1800 full length rods in a criss-cross fashion between upper and lower end caps on front and rear panels. With 1800 rods installed slide 2540 rods through diagonal hole in back panel. (The ferrule should be glued to one of the 2540 rods using 50% insertion into the ferrell.) Two people should hold tension on the kite wing tips while holding the 2540 rods next to the 2540 end caps for marking the needed cut length. Make sure the ferrule is centered at the spine. Insertion depth in the 2540 end cap is approximately ¾“.

7. A 2 point-bridle approximately 12’ long is attached at left and right upper wing tip end caps. Kite lines article has elaborate 4-point bridle --- not needed. As wind speed increases attack angle will change and dump wind.
