Kites are tethered flying objects that are made to fly when the air lifts it like a sail. The kite’s movement can be manipulated by the kite flyer who is holding one or more strings that are attached to the kite. “Drag” and “lift” are words that depict the pressure and tension that the air places on the mechanics of the kite. A traditional diamond shaped kite has a tail to keep the nose of the kite from pointing into the wind and a string for the kite flyer to hold that controls the direction of the kite. Kites were historically used to communicate over long distances for military purposes. Today, they are used for recreation, art, and competitive events.

In this series of video clips, you will learn how to build and fly a wide variety of different kites. Starting with the basic Delta Line Kites, you can see videos with tips for Flying Dragon Kites, Delta Sport Kites, Ozone Kites, and Power Kites. Learn how to loop and unloop your kite as well as turns. String winders add a nice look to your kite and they perform the same duty as a kite tail. Learn how to build and fly a kite and spend the day outside after watching these expert videos!
