How to fly a kite

One person holds the center bar behind the kite, stands behind or on the side of the kite facing the wind, lifts the kite to shoulder level (or above the head), and tilts the kite slightly forward by 5° to 10°. . One person holds a string crutch, picks up the kite string with his left hand, and releases a section of the string to a distance of 10 to 20 meters from the kite holder.

The two people cooperate with each other. When the wind strength is suitable, the person holding the kite will push the kite into the air, and the person holding the string will tighten the string to maximize the resistance of the wind to the kite, so that the kite can rely on the pulling force of the person.
