F ighter kites can do things no other kite can do. Even in the lightest of winds, a fighter in the hands of a skilled flier can amaze onlookers by not only staying in the air, but doing figure eights, dives, twists, and dancing its way to great heights. All you need is a little information and a bit of practice. S tand with your back to the wind with about 10 feet or so of extra line beside you loose on the ground. Have your assistant stand about 50 feet away, lightly holding the kite at its outside corners with the nose pointing up.
P ositioning the kite is very important.
When you launch, the kite is going to move in the direction it is pointing. Make sure it's pointing up at the sky instead of at some obstacle - like a spectator. Having extra line is also important. You need to let line out to control your fighter. If you use all of your line, you won't have any control.
