What is the best method to launch, fly, and retrieve FlagKites?
Pre-flight check the kite to make sure everything is O.K. (strings are not tangled or hung up on clips, flag is attached properly, etc.). Avoid damaging your kite by not flying on hard surfaces, and in too strong of wind. If the wind is too strong the kite will usually crash to one side. It’s advisable to protect your hands with gloves at all times. Launching is accomplished by letting the kite out slowly, or unwinding the fly line completely first. Have someone hold the handle while launching the kite or tie the handle to something stationary, like a fence post. Retrieve the kite from flight by grasping the fly line and walk toward the kite, bringing it down.
