1 of 6 making the tangler fighter kite

making an american style line touch fighter kite, the tangler. actually i reduced the template size of the tangler about 5-6% using a photo copy machine. the bow length of the reduced size template is about 23.5" long. which is shorter by slightly more than 1" than the original tangler.

Hey Bruce! I have been trying to make the tangler, but it seems to not print out right, i'm missing the wing tip... Help? Ive tried everything with the printer settings, i'm thinking it may be an issue with the site? Thanks from Maine!

@Alex if you printer settings don't have any 'fit to page' parameters, it should print just fine. there are two pages, the wingtips are on page two. just tape the pages together. if you continue having difficulty, email me.

@br8080 the only exclusively fighter kite forum i know is on my website fighterkitecentral . when at the home page, click on fighter kite forum and register.....it's free. there are about 300 fighter kiters from around the world on the forum and it's the best resource for getting info and questions answered of any i know of. at my website are lots of plans, templates, building and flying tips, etc.........many of the plans are also now included on other websites.

I figured it out! i had disabled all the auto features on the printing setup when i set it to not shrink to page. So it was not rotating the page and printing the long way. Thanks! I plan to make the tangler, then spunky. Im am currently working on the fat boy blankenator, and have just made the phighter 3hree! Are there any good fighter kite forums around?
