Missing parts to finish the frame.

I finally ended up drawing the missing parts to finish the frame. The new parts can be seen in the figure above. The part referenced by the letter "a" will serve to make the landing gear. After considering several solutions to the landing gear, I came to the conclusion that for now it is better to opt for a rigid structure rather than a solution with moving parts. The part referenced by the letter "b" will serve to support the boards. I even thought about using plastic hex standoffs, but as the Seeeduino Mega board only has three holes it was not very stable. Finally, the part referenced by the letter "c" will serve to make a plastic tensor for the yellow kite line with the black nylon cable ties. This part will replace the current tensor since it uses a metal ring to tighten the kite line so it does not come off.
