The line is wrapped 3-7 times around the thread. The decoration is
attached, with a clip, to the eye. The eye points to the kite.
Kite Line Dressing.
An article in the kite magazine "De
Vlieger" 1998 no.2 by Jan de Lange triggered me. Why knot the line
decoration in kite line ?? He used a "quickboom" (quicktree ?) as used to
attach a bait line to the fish line (sea fishing). Only I didn't like the
"quickboom". Thus I tried to simplify the "quickboom". Check the photo's
to see what came out.
Its made of 7.5 cm iron thread (1 mm thick) or a
bicycle spoke. Unknown at this point is how much kg it can endure. But I
intend to make one for a big rotating ring (or basket).
Doesn't it work ???
