"The kite flyer's contribution is to facilitate the optimum interaction between the wind and the fabric of the kite. THE FLYER CREATES THE CONDITION FOR THE WIND TO LIFT THE KITE NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND" "Though the wind and kite are the key components THERE ARE OTHER INFLUENCES SUCH AS TEMPERATURE AND OBSTACLES. " "IF THE LINE IS TOO SHORT the kite will not fly." "IF THE LINE IS TOO LONG the kite will respond unpredictably." "A STRONGER FLYER can give a longer line. " "A LESS STRONG FLYER may need to keep the line shorter to maintain control." "IF A KITE BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE REEL it will fly around randomly and crash." "THE OPTIMUM LENGTH OF LINE changes moment to moment." "STAND WITH YOUR BACK TO THE WIND to launch the kite" "EXPERIENCED FLIERS HAVE SEVERAL KITES so they can pick the one best suited to the conditions on the day." "IN A LOW WIND ENVIRONMENT the flyer will have to run to get the kite up." "IN A HIGH WIND ENVIRONMENT the flyer may need to do little more than throw the kite aloft." "Acrobatic kites have MORE THAN ONE CONTROL LINE." "The string or line on a kite is NOT THE SAME AS A PUPPET STRING"
