ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a dragon style kite having a pinwheel removably mounted on a center strut. A channel member receives a framing strut and includes a recess. The recess receives a first end of the center strut. A bracket has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The pinwheel is assembled and rotatably mounted on a spindle. The spindle is slidably inserted into the upper chamber of the bracket. The center strut is slidably inserted into the lower chamber of the bracket and secured. A snap-on-grommet is provided for assembling and aligning tabs of a pinwheel on the spindle. The snap-on-grommet is retained on the spindle by barbs. During flight, the pinwheel freely rotates on the spindle and does not engage the body of sheet material.
