Chapi-chapi is a kind of two-stick kite that can be quickly constructed from cheap materials such as newspaper, broom sticks, or discarded plastic sheet. It is very popular in the Philippines. The horizontal stick is tensioned into a bow in order to provide greater support for the paper or plastic sheet. A long tail is almost always necessary.

This kite, with a simple two-point bridle, has moderate lateral roll and flutter (oscillation), that some kite fliers prefer in kite fighting, over stable, quiet flight.
