How do you make a triangle kite?

Simple kite (Bagua kite) making

The Bagua kite is a traditional Chinese kite, which can be seen everywhere in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Generally speaking, Bagua kites are suitable to be flown in a larger kite, and the experience of flying shows that: the larger the wind, the larger the angle of the kite. Because it belongs to the hard beat category, there is no place for lagoon wind, so the kite's wind state has a close relationship with the change of wind power, if the wind power is unstable, the Bagua kite is very interesting to fly with one lift and one fall. Figure 3 is the skeleton of the gossip kite, gossip kite production is simple, the production of materials, tying requirements are not very strict, as long as the requirements to do in accordance with the following, generally can achieve the purpose of flying.

The gossip kite gets its name from the shape of the kite, because it is octagonal, because of the traditional Chinese gossip coincides with, so it is more called gossip, in the painting, generally more painted with the traditional gossip graphics. Bagua skeleton consists of two square shelves, the general size of the square skeleton between 500-1000mm. Only the size of the two squares is required to be the same, according to the size of the kite, the size of 500mm can only set a firm to the bamboo strips, as shown in the picture. For kites larger than this size, a cross-shaped skeleton should be set up, and the size of the bamboo strips should be larger, in the thickness direction than the width. Take a 500mm Bagua kite as an example, the four bamboo strips that make up the square are 3mm in width and height and 500mm in length. Tie the bamboo strips together to form two square skeletons, and then tie the two squares together to form an octagon as shown in the diagram. The masking material of the kite is the same as that of the two kites above. The kite has three lifting lines, positioned as shown in the diagram. Like the tadpole kite, the kite should be curved with a thin line in the center of the kite to help the kite to catch the wind when flying. (The kite will fly just as well if it is not pulled into an arc, so you may want to try it).

Gossip kites are usually painted with traditional gossip patterns. The tails of Bagua kites are usually made by tying paper spikes to thin strings.

The masking material of the kite is the same as that of the two kites above. The kite has three lifting lines, positioned as shown in the diagram. As with the tadpole kite, the kite is also pulled into an arc with a thin line in the center of the kite when it is being flown, to help the kite catch the wind when it is in flight.

The making of gossip kite

, equipment preparation content:

1. Tools: art knife, scissors, ruler, neutral pen, fine copper wire.

2. Materials: 4 mm wide, 1.5~2 mm thick, single bamboo joints, green bamboo strips 4 long about 50 cm. Color film wrapping paper 1, 3 cm wide calendar film strip 15, 2 meters of wire, 4 mm wide double-sided tape paper 1 roll, 1 cm wide transparent tape paper 1 roll.

Production steps:

1. Trimming bamboo strips:

1) Use the method of diagonal cutting, trimming the pile joints, and trimming the thickness and width of the four bamboo strips to meet the requirements.

2) in the repair of the pile section for a center line, with it as the center to the ends of the bamboo strips measured out as long as the bamboo strips, and cut off the excess (*** 2).

3) Calculate and cut 2 short bamboo strips according to the long bamboo strips taken.

Example: The side length of the square in the figure is x centimeters, and its diagonal is x according to geometric knowledge (i.e., 1.4x) The length of the existing bamboo strips is 49.2 centimeters, and the two sides of its pile joints are 24 centimeters and 25.2 centimeters, respectively. According to (b) of the steps to remove 1.2 cm, so that the center line on each side of the length of 24 cm, the net length of bamboo strips 48 cm, 48 cm bamboo strips for the diagonal of the square, then 1.4x = 48 cm, x = 34 cm, which 34 cm that is, the length of the short bamboo strips, still according to the center line shall prevail on both sides of the stake joints to take 17 centimeters, the net material 34 cm.

4) Take the center line as the pivot point, correct the 4 bamboo strips to the left and right equal weight.

Methods: the craft knife blade support in the center line of the bamboo strips, observe the bamboo strips left and right whether the balance, tilt the end of the heavier, should be scraped with a knife at the end of the thin, until the two ends of the balance until the four strips of bamboo after the school is good, in the bamboo strips on each of the bamboo strips of the green bamboo surface each sticking a strip of bamboo strips of equal length and equal width of the double-sided adhesive tape.

2. On the reverse side of the masking film paper, use the center of the pen to draw the skeleton of the Font.

Methods: three horizontal and one vertical, vertical lines vertically divided into three horizontal lines, three horizontal lines are spaced one-half the length of the short strip.

3. Paste the corresponding bamboo strips in the order shown.

4. Cut the kite sheet.

Methods: first use a neutral pen, a long ruler to connect the apex of the corresponding bamboo strips, and use a craftsman's knife to cut out the gossip kite sheet along the line, and then seal the two straight edges with a width of 1 cm of transparent tape, so as not to rupture the surface of the kite by the wind, at this time, the center of gravity of the kite sheet is in the middle.

5. Match the tail and move the center of gravity down.

The horizontal balance of the kite is solved by the symmetrical drawing and the balance of the bamboo strips, then the vertical balance of the kite is solved by shifting the center of gravity with the tail strips, the center of gravity is set in the middle of the second and the third horizontal bamboo strips, the tail strips are only attached to the top of your fingers, the kite can be balanced, and the tail strips are considered to be attached well.

6. Attach the lifting line. (Binding line is commonly known as triangle line)

Methods: a) Measure one equal distance from each end of the first horizontal bamboo strip (in the intersection of the corner edge), and tie the two ends of a binding line to these two points, so that the midpoint of the line falls exactly at the intersection of the vertical bamboo strip and the third horizontal bamboo strip.

b) Tie the end of the other thread to the bottom of the intersection of the vertical bamboo strip and the third horizontal bamboo strip.

c) Lay the kite flat on the table, lift up the middle point of the upper line and the other end of the lower line, when the plane of the upper line is perpendicular to the surface of the kite, the length of the lower line will be fixed, then tie the three lines together and tie the button knot, then the kite making is finished.

Fifth, notes:

1. When fixing the pile of bamboo strips, do not put your hand in front of the knife, so as not to hurt your hand, when fixing the pile of the knife should be cut vertically or diagonally, so as not to damage the bamboo before the pile of the green, but also available files to file the pile section.

2. The knots of the threads should be fastened with quick-drying glue so that the threads will not be scattered when they are released.

3. The film of the tail strip should not be too thin, and can be cut with thick film packing bag, so that the tail will not be too long, and the kite will hang on the top of the tree or the roof.

4. Don't use scissors to cut the gossip kite sheet, so as not to become a jagged edge and produce turbulence, affecting the stability of flying.

5. The connection between the tail bar and the kite sheet is strengthened with 1cm wide transparent tape to prevent the tail from falling off when flying.

6. The length of the two upper lines should be equal, which can be measured with a ruler, otherwise it will affect the stability of the release.

Summary:

The kite is made by pasting method, no need to adjust, high success rate, as long as the bamboo strips are carefully trimmed, draw the correct skeleton, then paste the bamboo strips according to the drawing line, then adjust the position of the center of gravity according to the need, paste the tail, weight and tie up the lifting line, and the kite is ready to be flown when it is done.

Reflection:

1. The length of the bamboo strips is determined by their own calculation of the length of the bamboo strips, and there are many students who still do not know how to take the length of the bamboo strips, so they should pay attention to it.

2. Drawing skeleton pasting diagram, many students do not concentrate, where to draw how long to draw do not know. (Next time to clarify).

3. kite sheet, many students use scissors to cut, the line is very rough and curved, will affect the balance, produce turbulence, resulting in flying fluctuations and instability, should be corrected in a timely manner, required to learn to use a ruler and a knife to cut the edge of the paper line.

4. Some students also have incorrect location of the triangle line, the length of the two upper lines are not equal, will also produce release problems, such as: side, spinning, inverted cut, should be corrected in time.

5. There are some students who stick the double-sided tape randomly, which causes the surface of the kite to be uneven and affects the release of the kite.

6. Students who are eager to fly should be reminded to fly against the wind.
