With kite and string in one hand and spindle in the other, run into the wind letting the string out slowly, more quickly the tighter the string and the stronger the wind. If the kite won t fly or won t fly well. Check for holes in the kite where air might escape. Check for even construction and re check the instructions. Try weighting either the tail or nose end of the kite more with a little piece of cloth for a sort of ballast.
Trial run number two.
Run with your kite against the wind and as resistance raises it in the air let the string out slowly, keeping it tight. As with catching a fish you will want to keep the string tight enough to keep the kite up and under control but not so tight that the string breaks. Change of wind. The proper winds and weather for flying are up to 16 miles an hour and a clear or at least rainless sky. If the wind changes or picks up, bring your kite down or draw it in a bit to maintain control.
