Autumn Paige Kite Class- Vocabulary

So we again my fellow organisms, do you know the parts of a kite? No! well you will learn parts of a kite and there function, lets get a move on. The First part of a kite is the Bridle and the Bridle is a line that attaches to the kite which you fly, interesting right! Lets move on shall we, the second part of a kite is the fittings, the fittings are replacing missing parts and they are sized according to the outside diameter. The third part of a kite is a Keel, hehe rhymes with peel. In order to be a Keel you have to have two thin crossed pieces of wood covered by paper, the Keel is the longer piece of wood. A kite line is used for handling and if chosen to small or to big it can break while flying. So the fourth part of a kite is the Sail, the sail is what flows is the air that's what needs control. Ever heard of Spars? Me either lets find out what this confusing word means, the Spars are the sticks which hold the kites shape against the wind, that's cool I never would've guessed that.

 The next part is the Tail I know what you're thinking a tail of a Panda!, because that's what I was thinking. Anyway a tail is flown in the wind at end of a string, sort of like a decoration but it's needed. The next part of a kite is the Tow Point, the Tow point is where the flying line attaches to the kite's Bridle. The second to last part of the kite is the spreader the spreader are two spars that run horizontally across the span of the kite opening sail. Last but certainly not least the spine like o a skeleton but on a kite, the spine of a kite is to give the kite it's shape.
