Which webbing will you use to connect the struts to the leading edge?

Depends on the seam you want to use to connect the struts. After many different approaches I would say the easiest way is to use something like this:
Twill webbing for edgebinding
The twill binding allows you to bend it along the seam. But still needs some practice.
It's too stiff, impossible to bend sideways without wrinkles

Ok, I thought you were asking about the webbing that extends lengthwise to the strut - which I believe is a stiff webbing and not elastic?

hi.
I saw comments on all kites from the wingworks, except on the kitewave. Any comments videos on them or any feedback from someone who built them? are there sizes other than 9 for download. I am building my wave kite and would like to base myself on the wingworks kite wave.
Best regards
Eric

Did somoen figure out a way to convert dxf to pdf..
Among the free CAD softwares, you could also try Inkscape, LibreCad, FreeCad or Fusion360 (even in the limited access offered since October 2020)
