HOW TO FLY A STUNT KITE
ALWAYS be a safe kite flyer !1. Choose an open
area away from obstacles, power lines and trees.
You need steady wind to fly your stunt kite, gusty or
strong winds are not
recommended for learning. The wind must always come from
your back.
2. Assemble
your kite by following the assembly instructions supplied
by the
manufacturer.
Connect your flying line to the handles/straps & the kite. Make sure
your bridle
line & flying line are free of tangles and equal lengths. Use the entire
length of lines
to learn. You can adjust the length but the shorter the line - the
quicker the kite.

3. When your
kite is launched - let it climb like a regular kite &
find the good
wind before you start trying to control the kite.
4. Learn to
steer first - when you pull right the kite turns right
(clockwise),
when you pull left the kite turns left (counter
clockwise).
Get the feel of your kite by gently pulling right, then
left, etc (figure 9)
Keep the kite in the sky as high a possible.
When you fly a circle or loop, follow it with one in the
opposite direction, this
will keep the twist out of the lines.
To land your kite, fly at a low level to the extreme left
or right of the wind window.
Point the nose up, take a couple steps toward the kite
and it will glide to the ground.

5.
TRY not
to crash !!
Learn to fly your kite in 7 - 10 m.p.h. / 11 - 16 km/h
winds.
Crash dives can damage your kite. If you have crashed,
you may find that the vinyl
fittings holding the spars might move forward. It
is extremely important that
these fittings are pushed back down into the original
position, otherwise sail damage
may occur. This precaution is built in to prevent kite
damage.
