Kite Tips
Location: Select a location that is free of obstructions, such as power lines, houses, trees, etc.. Make sure that the wind conditions are proper for your kite.
Launching: With the wind to your back, take the kite about 50 feet or more downwind and have a friend hold it up pulling the line tight. As the kite catches the wind, pull on the line hand over hand until the kite gains altitude.
Landing: Releasing the tension on the line will allow the kite to drift to the ground.
