But if you take the time to read and understand it before and during those hours of flying you will definitely have more fun, and become a proficient flyer much faster. Stand-offs are small spars that hold the wing in an efficient airfoil. Proper assembly is all common sense. If you are a Delta Wing owner, it is a good idea to also have a Diamond Stunt kite. Your family and friends will want to fly and you may not want to hand them your new or favorite Delta Wing.
Diamonds are practically indestructible.
Most of this material can be applied to Quad-line kites, but the basic flight controls are written for dual line kites. Most diamond shaped kites include and need a tail for stability. The long tail creates great visuals, but if you find that you don't want to deal with all of it, simply cut it down to about 20 feet. Or buy an extra tail and shorten it. Wind velocity and a kites wind range are discussed later.
