preparing the bamboo


Dry the bamboo for a week in the sun and split it into thin strips using a chopper or parang. Select a straight piece and whittle it into a circular shape as shown in the photo.

Prepare the vertical piece. It must be strong enough to withstand strong winds. Tie the two pieces together to form a cross. Complete the frame as shown with strains to support the paper(aerodynamically balanced and forming an aerofoil shape).
