The triangular cross-section has the advantage of a bracing framework and is easy in combination. The bridle is attached to one of the long sticks and the kite rides on a keel, [Fig. 75]. Three braces about the middle of each cell keep the corner sticks out to place. These can be put in at the field, thus allowing the kite to be rolled for transportation. The triangular kite is sometimes lengthened so as to use three cells, [Fig. 76], and again two kites are placed side by side, [Fig. 77], and this may be increased by placing another below both, as in [Fig. 78]. In the last combination we have a large kite to the outside and a smaller one to the inside which can be lengthened so as to give three cells in length, [Fig. 79], and many other combinations can be made.
