Build complete

293I found time about a month ago to finish up my facet kite, just ahead of my family’s trip to the beach. Of course, the spars are too big for our suitcases, so it got left at home. Since then we haven’t had the free weekend to get it up in the sky.

As they say, until it flies, it’s just art. But here’s a picture of the final assembly anyway. To give a sense of scale, the kite is about 1.2 meters tall.
