A traditional Bermuda kite is a narrow hexagon formed by joining three pine sticks at the centre. In a slight variation, a Roundy is created with either four or five sticks to produce an octagon or decagon. Roundies tend to be more temperamental and pull exponentially harder than their additional surface area would suggest. How many roundies do you see in this picture?

There are two main engineering elements that allow a kite to take flight.
The loop is a string harness attached to the front of the kite that sets the angle of the kite to the wind. The Tail is made of strips of bed sheets tied together and attached to the bottom of the kite to keep it upright. They can both be complicated in their simplicity, but suffice to say that if a kite won’t go up, spirals violently or breaks free, peer review will conclude that either the Loop is wrong, there is too much or too little tail, or both! Which one is made of string?
The Loop
The Tail
Both
None
