What are the steps to fly a kite?

Steps of flying a kite:

1, before flying a kite, you should know the direction of the wind and the strength of the speed, pick up dead grass or small pieces of paper and throw them into the air, so you can measure the direction of the wind.

2. When the wind is sufficient, take the kite's lifting line by yourself, run forward against the wind and pay attention to the kite's flying condition until the wind is strong enough and the kite climbs upward, then you can stop and release the line slowly. When the wind does not continue, quickly retract the line, such as feeling the tension of the kite line, to grasp the time to release the line, if the kite has a tendency to fall, there is a fashion to quickly retract a part of the kite line, until the kite can be in the sky to hold on to not fall.

3. It is best to have an assistant to help you fly the kite, stretch the kite line about ten meters, face upwind, and hold the skeleton behind the kite with both thumbs and forefingers holding it still, and then when the gusts of wind come, pull the kite gently out of the assistant's hand, and then let go of the line while running until the kite rises to a considerable height, then shake the line back and forth gently to make the kite stabilize.

4. If you fly several kites at a time, you should consider the way of connecting the kites with the lifting lines.

5. If the kite is flying stably, you can tie the kite to a tree trunk or an object and let it float, but in the case of unstable wind direction and wind force, you have to maneuver the kite by hand.

6, when recovering the kite, you have to recover the line slowly, and recover the line as far away as possible from the place where there are tall trees, so as to avoid the kite falling and hanging on the trees.
