Then the spine is reinserted into the pocket to secure the tail. This technique will work with either single line or dual line kites. Adding a tail will stabilize your kite in strong, gusty winds or slow down a stunt kite for easier learning. Streamer tails work well with deltas and diamonds and they look great in the sky. We recommend using drogue tails for airfoils.
Tubular tails are the best for stunt kites.
Single line kites and many beginner stunt kites are flown with Dacron line . It is a durable, easy to tie line with a moderate amount of stretch. The stretch helps to prevent line breakage caused by sudden gusts. It also slows down stunt kites for easier learning. Our Ashaway Dacron line is a braided line made specifically for kite flying.
