Entry: Tails for single-line kites - A3490850
Author: Kiteman - U1056601

I have submitted a number of kite-related articles for Peer Review. One is currently "Pending".

A dragon kite is essentially a long tail, so you can launch one first, and then attach another kite to it in train. This technique is especially handy in getting kites above surface turbulence when winds are light and gusty.

Surveyor's tape also makes a good cheap tail, it's light so you can make very long tails out of it, and it comes in lots of bright easily seen colors. Ribbon can be used for some smaller and medium sized kites.

weight and drag drag...


You've written drag down twice.

Otherwise looks fine to me. I'm still checking the other single-line articles. Sorry then I'll make a grand conclusion

Sorted, Kat, but don't put too much effort into the others - I'm working on putting the whole lot together into one (after advice from Emmily and others). It's still in My Space at the moment, but feel free to have a look (A3493703).

Kiteman.

After I put all that effort in last night!!

I still think it will make a very big article...

If you're planning on doing that, then you really need to withdraw all of these from Peer Review for now.

I think Kiteman changed his mind, and decided to stick with the shorter 'versions'

He's added some nifty links at the top of Entry

Would be a good idea to let everyone know when you've made the suggested changes Kiteman, then it may get more comments, and Scouts will know suggested changes have been made, if needed..oh hell.. I'm not making much sense, it's 5.25am, I couldn't sleep, now, going back to bed.

Emmily

Did you get to bed in the end Emmily? I mean it's now the afternoon and you're here.

The scouts should be very interested in these articles if you bump them back towards the top of the pile kiteman. Then they can comment until they reckon they're sparkly.

I was here at around 9.30 this morning Went back to bed after I posted above post, shortly after then partner got up for work, couldn't sleep with moving about in room, I think I got 2 maybe 3 hours sleep had to be up at 9, to go to ECDL course at college, so if I talk utter rubbish and gibberygook today, you'll know why

Emmily

How do I bump them up the pile?

Well get that wee links thingy put on all of them, and then post to all the threads saying you've done it and are there any other things.

NOW I think they're all done. [wanders off to find a different project...]

Hi Kite Man,

I found this

but must tails use a combination
but MOST tails use a combination

Otherwise, looking very good.

Awu

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Coolness!

Kiteman

Emmily
