Why does my Ready to Fly stunt kite come with only one plastic handle with all the line wrapped around it? Ready to Fly stunt kite line sets often include line wrapped around a plastic winder which can resemble a plastic handle, but it is not. Use the pair of straps included with the kite for flying. When you're finished flying, wrap your lines back onto the winder for storage. Which stunt kite would be appropriate for a child to fly? First, review the Best Stunt Kites for Beginners section. There you can find the best options for someone who has not flown a stunt kite before. When shopping for a stunt kite for a child, it is important to look at the test weight of the line (i.e. 50-lb., 100-lb., etc.). This indicates the "breaking strength" of the line (the amount of force that must be exerted on the line to cause the line to break) but it also correlates to the relative pull the kite will exert on the flier; the higher the line test, the more pull. Stunt kites that use 50-lb. or 80-lb. line would be the best choice for a pre-teen. Coordinated 8 year-olds may be able to fly a beginner stunt kite while a 12 year-old without strong hand-eye coordination may not. Keep in mind the child’s size and weight when making a choice, and always supervise your child while they fly. It can take only a brief, strong gust of wind to pull the kite out his/her hand. |
