 If you making something out of this, then you just need to turn the lightning bolts around (180) so they go the other way to the leading edge.  
Give us some more details?  just curious.

 Yes..close enough...You could also fill in the negative space with actual nylon...So red edge with nylon..paint the one piece of metal white and fill
in the blue with nylon... 
There are other flexifoil blade schemes too...Just type flexifoil blade into search engine and hit the images...there are a ton to look at. 
 
That would make a great light for a wall.

 I have pondered this same thing. Just have not gone that route yet. trying to stay in the "stick figure" kind of look. The kites are the hardest
part.You get almost done and in a microsecond ,you got a piece of crap.  But,if it was easy ,everyone would make their own. :evil: |

  The pic is macro, the sail is only 7 inches long. LOL  It would be ALOT easier if it was bigger. The wire is .052",a real PITA to weld together.
