Launching Single Line Kites -
Tips & Tricks
1. Kites fly best in wide-open spaces. Avoid flying in areas near
buildings and trees.
2. To launch, stand with the wind to your back.
3. Hold the kite with the nose up in one hand while securely holding
the winder in the other.
4. When you feel the pressure of the wind against the kite, let
go. As the kite rises, slowly release more line.
5. A high altitude launch is an effective method of getting your
kite off the ground in light winds. Have a friend stand downwind
as you let out as much line as possible (> 100 feet). As the
kite is released into the wind, tug on the line.
