How to fly a kite
1. Check your local weather report to see if conditions are good for kite flying. Look for light to moderate winds. A wind speed of 5 to 15 mph is best for kite flying.
2. Find a large and windy open area free of trees and power lines. Trees and power lines are dangerous for kites and kite owners.
3. Hold the kite in both hands and toss it lightly into the wind until the wind catches it.
4. Alternatively, let out a small length of kite string and, holding the string in your hand, run with the kite behind you until the wind lifts it.
5. Begin letting out string until the kite reaches a height with which you are comfortable.
6. Keep an eye on your kite, as it may come crashing down because of sudden changes in wind. If it dips, run or pull in the string a bit to give it some lift.
7. Bring the kite down by slowly winding the kite string around a kite spool.
8. Reach out and grab the kite before it hits the ground to avoid damaging it.
