I built a ten cell tetrahedral kite 35 years ago using wooden dowels and mylar. After I completed it, my friend, an aeronautical engineer said he wanted to help fly it. So we dragged it behind my convertible, but alas it was a no go. It took a few days before we realized that instead of scooping the air, we should have been using it as an air foil. Boy, was his face red!

The wind needs to blow into the kite not against it, so make sure to tie the string to a corner with the paper covers both sides of the straw.

I built one and had no success in successful flight. Thought maybe the problem was bridle so I built another one tweaking the bridle location a little. Second attempt resulting in only flying into the trash can at the park due to frustration. So I don;t know if these instructions are the best to go by for building a tetrahedral kite.

We made those in science this year. Some kids thought it was hard but it is really easy.

These fly great! Made mine out of newspaper, with 4 units. Flies MUCH BETTER with a REALLY LONG TAIL.

I think that this will actually work. I tried these other directions and they did not make any sense. So, I hope this works!!!!!!!!

woldn’t this alow air to easily escape a mutch easier way would be to frame the inside of a small kite

Not that hard at all, and it really works! I made my kite last weekend and it was soooo much fun. Don’t let your little sister\brother get involved, take my word for it, because I’m sure you don’t want to get in trouble after your younger sister covers herself with fake tatooes from the pen! I know too well what that’s like!
