Couldn't get it up in the air

We tested the kite this past Sunday, and we could never get it to fly without running. I think the model I worked on has the flaw that it doesn’t have a crossbar, so it does not resist the air very much but rather folds in half, leaving no surface onto which the wind can blow against :S

And not only did we lose our breath running to get that kite to fly, but I actually injured my back in the process. So I’m quitting on this model, and I’m onto making a better one from the book. Just got to get the materials.
