We got 4 kites in total. Here's the kite of three group. We were testing the different ways of flying the kites. The timber rod was easily smashed, but the kites were still able to fly as it is string enough to hold the structure. The little photo showed the broken timber rod.

The kite. It eventually fly into the sky. This has proved that the materials and the concept worked well. Lightest materials plus large surface area are crucial in creating the lifting force for the kite. We left out the bracing as it would increase the weight of the kite and if without it, the kite was still strong for flying for few times.

Day 7- afternoon- We all gathered in the Whitworth Park and tested out each kite one by one. This time, it worked as the wind was stronger. I failed for the first time as I didn't hold the string firmly and I flied the kite successfully at the second time. We ended our event in chilling and testing our kites in the Park.

Day 5 & 6 - It's second week of the event. We were working on the second task, which is the kites making. We need to make the kite that's similar to our model in first week. The relationship between kite and the model is the separation between ground floor and second floor. End of day 6, we had our frame of the kite done.

Day 4 - We were working on the Model for the whole day and we are nearly done. We had a short presentation with Proff Tom Jefferies and Harald, and they suggested us to play with the patterns by breaking it and reconstruct it until the point we can't proceed.
