Gravity versus lift will determine the flying height. There are many tricks to flying a kite well which may only be learned through experimenting with your own kites. Some useful information and flying tips are provided to help you get started. A kite has, essentially, three basic characteristics. A structure designed to gain lift from the wind, a tether to keep the kite from blowing away, and a bridle of two or more lines to control the face of the kite so as to maintain the proper angle to the wind.
Most kites also have a tail.
If you are experiencing trouble getting your kite to rise in the air, your tether may be attached to your kite s bridle at a point too low. Try adjusting it up in small increments until the kite shows that it wants to climb. You can also try reducing the tail length if there seems to be too much downward drag on the kite. If your kite rushes upward, swoops in tight circles, and then crashes down, your tether may be too high. Try adjusting it downward in small increments until the kite stabilizes.
