If there is any part of the construction you do not understand, or you need help in any way, then feel free to contact me. The idea was to design a kite that would be simple and quick to build, but would fly as well as any commercially available kite. The usual curved leading and trailing edges of this type of kite have been eliminated and replaced with straight lined edges, this cuts down the number of profile patterns that need to be used, in fact the centre seven profiles of the Sceptre Mk2 use the same profile pattern. The main difference between the Mk 2 and the Mk 1 is the bridling, and also the plans are much easier to follow. This kite is a power kite and caution needs to be used in high winds.
All pieces can be hot cut or cut with scissors.
No seam or hem allowances are shown in these plans. The profiles are the ribs or formers that are sewn inside the kite between the top and bottom skins. The flat bottom of the profile is sewn to the bottom skin while the curved top is attached to the top skin. The angled leading edge is left unsewn to create an opening at the front that allows air to enter and inflate the kite. See the main plan page for the profile lengths needed.
