Advice for novice fliers on how to get that kite off the ground at the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
Michigan-based professional kite flying team the Windjammers are planning to stage several aerial performances choreographed to music, each pilot flying stacks of up to a dozen red, white and blue diamond-shaped kites with long tails trailing off each one. Members of the local Wings Over Washington Kite Club will fly sport kites — controlled by multiple lines and by two to six or more fliers — coordinating flights to music.
To get a single-line kite airborne, simply hold it up by the bridle and let the long line out. If there is enough wind, the kite will rise. Let it fly away a little, then pull the line in a bit so the kite points upward and begins to ascend. Repeat this process until your kite gets high enough to engage with strong, steady wind.
