Kite repairs

In between the two weekends of Artefact, I have to make some kite repairs - the rooftop has a very rough surface and much of the dacron has sheared off and the corners need repairs. I also need to get some new sticks at the kite shop to replace broken ones and to have some spare ones.

I also take the time to integrate the pressure sensor into the kites - to make it faster to switch between kites, not having to remove the pressure sensor and wiring.

Finally, I bring out an old kite and fix the broken sticks that it has - it's a small kite that is made for stormy weather. And inspired on the model, I make another small kite, though when I try it out on the roof later, it seems to need adjustments before it can be steady in the sky.
