Bermuda kite

They are constructed from flat sticks arrayed like spokes of a wheel, with a nail at the axis.

Colored tissue paper is glued into the spaces created between strings and sticks.

This stick, which forms the head of the kite, extends considerably beyond the perimeter of the hexagon.

A long, cloth strip tail is fitted to the kite, without which it would be unable to fly.

Bermudian kites are very airworthy, holding world records for altitude and duration of flight.
