How do you fly a kite?

  1. Choose a day with light to moderate winds (about 5–25 mph or 8–40 kmh).
  2. Put your kite together inside.
  3. Stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up until it catches.
  4. Release the kite and let out some of the line, keeping it fairly taut.
  5. Pull the line gently to help the kite ascend.
  6. Reel in the line slowly and walk toward the kite to land it.
