I've got some new idea to improve the bamboo kite and make it more lighter. Infact the sparless single skin kite (parachute kite) inspired me so we can use a thin bamboo to reduce the weight instead of using a thicker one and put some strings in different place along the spars like in the parachute kite to make it more stiff when the wind blow. This combination will prevent the kite from collapsing if the wind changes direction suddenly.
