Stunt Kite Basics ReferenceTable
Key benchmarks for stunt kite basics.

Bridle AngleFormula
Tow point forward of CG improves stability in gusts
Flying SafetyStandard
Never fly near power lines — wet kite line conducts electricity.
Spar Selection
Use straight-grained dowels or carbon tubes — warped spars guarantee unstable flight.
Bridle Tune
Adjust tow point in small increments — most flight problems are bridle geometry, not sail shape.
Power Lines
Never fly near power lines — wet kite line conducts electricity.
Safety Notes
- Never fly kites near power lines, roads, or airports — wet line conducts electricity.
- Cut spars and dowels away from your body — blades skip on hard grain.
