FLYING INSTRUCTION
PRE LAUNCH
Lines must be out and
adjusted to equal
length before
launching!
Make sure the person holding the kite is
behind it and pointing the leading edge
skyward. Keep your hands forward and
parallel just before launch.
FIRST FLIGHT AT A GENTLE BREEZE
On your first launch, keep your hands next to each other and let your kite ascent as high
as possible. If your kite wanders to one side, make corrections by pulling on the opposite
control handle. A stunt kite turns towards the same direction it is pulled: Pull right - the kite
turns right, pull left - the kite turns left. As a beginner, concentrate on steering toward the
sky and maintaining plenty of altitude beforedoing complex stunts.
The most common problem a beginner has
is over controlling his or her kite. Only a few
centimetres of pull is needed for maneuvering.
If you continue to pull to one side, your kite
will make a loop. The further you pull back the
line, the tighter the loop will be. At any point
1
in a loop or a turn, you can even out your
handles and the kite will move in the direction
the leading edge is pointing.
After doing loops, your control lines will be
twisted. This may seem troublesome but don't
worry, you will still have full control of your
kite. To untwist, simply fly loops in the
opposite direction.
You'll soon notice, that as the kite flies to the edge, it slows down and eventually stalls.
Maneuver the kite to the outermost edge about 50cm off the ground and sprint toward
the kite while throwing your arms forward. Your lines will go slack and the kite will gently land.

THINK ABOUT SAFETY!
Be sure to avoid flying near cars,
people, power lines, and airports. Stunt
kites can move at high speeds and are
capable of inflicting damage on people
and property. Both, the kite and flying
lines represent potential hazards.
The kite and/or line can hit or cut with
high force while moving at high speeds.
Use your stunt kite with extreme care.
Flying safely is your sole responsibility.
FLY SAFE!
LAUNCH
Wind must be at
flyer's back!
To take off, tell your friend to release
the kite. Pull both lines back with equal
tension to launch the kite. Immediately
return hands forward.
