- For a 7 foot rokkaku that is to fly in light to moderate winds (up to
- around 12 mph) I have use Glassforms fiberglass K75. For a 5 footer I
- would probably use G50 or J65 depending on the wind that you expect to
- fly it in.
-
- These days, I use graphite in my rokkakus since I have a lot of it
- around the shop for use in stunt kites. A 7 footer gets AFC 2540.
