 We Chose the Box Kite Design based off of our matrices

 Both sails are  9 inches tall  1 foot wide x 1 foot deep  The entire structure is 12 x 12 x 31.5 inches tall  There is a 13.5 inch gap between the sails.

 Wooden rods were used to create the skeleton of the kite.  Plastic was used to make the sail.  Twine was used for the line.  The joints were connected by electrical tape.

 Kite was too heavy  We adjusted string position  We removed weight by cutting out 3 of the 4 center supports.

 We are proud to be  And our kite
