Before flying kites, my son and I all saw kites and said lightly, "Why do you fly so many kites?" 」
We often go to the square near our house on weekends to play, where there are a lot of kite flyers, and sometimes when we play with the gym equipment, we see other people's kites hanging on the trees, and we often join in the fun.
But this year, my son and I bought a small fishing rod and kite, and we finally experienced the fun of kite flying.
At first, the two of us had little experience, but in the spring, when the wind was strong, the kite floated up as soon as the string was loosened. When the kite flew higher and higher, I finally had a different feeling. It turns out that the kite in my hand is flying higher and higher, so I have a sense of accomplishment.
As two inexperienced people, as soon as the wind comes, we will immediately defend our line. Sometimes we are afraid that the kite will fly too high and we can't control it, so we often go to the recycling line. In addition, the small kite flies too high, and the line is not enough.
After flying it twice, we started to try the big kite, and the two of us joined the big kite queue in high spirits. Looking at the kites in the sky and counting how many there are, we can get to the first place.
Then when the wind came, we loosened the string and let the kite float, and the kite flew higher and higher, and I handed the kite to my son. He said, "The big kite is different, and it is full of accomplishment when you fly it. 」
But he stood still, and the kite wanted to fall, and he moved backwards, and the kite hung directly on the tree.
This time, we also realized that it is not easy to get a kite hanging on a tree. But when my kite hangs on the tree, I feel very happy, as if we have become kite circle members.
The owner of the kite seller pulled the kite down for us and told us to fly the kite away from the tree and move it to an open area.
The two of us took the rescued kite and flew it again, this time finally ranking third in the sky. With my son's encouragement, I continued to release the string, trying to make the kite a little higher. As a result, I forgot that the kite string was not tied in the loop, and the line was not long enough, and the kite was really getting higher and higher...
Finally, it fell and hung on the tree!
We looked up and saw that the kite that was in first place was still there, and the kite in second place was also as stable as Mount Tai, until we climbed the mountain and returned to the square, their kite was still there, and it was super stable.
In order to ask for tips on how to make sure the kite can fly high, my son and I started looking for the kite flyer, but we didn't expect to go out into the square and find the kite flyer.
A few lessons have been learned:
➡️ Choose the right environment for your release
Be sure to choose the right weather and venue for kite flying. To fly a kite, you need to check the weather forecast in advance and choose a suitable time period for wind and weather. Generally, in the weather conditions of 2~6 winds, the kite flies better.
The wind blowing horizontally is called wind, and the vortex or upward blowing is called air flow due to the influence of obstacles. Finding the direction in which the wind is blowing is a key step in flying a kite, and the kite must take off against the wind in order to get the maximum lift.
The choice of site requires an open field and a flat field. Choose a square with fewer buildings and trees to fly a kite, because buildings will affect the direction of the wind, and trees will not only reduce the wind, but will also be more likely to get entangled in the kite flying line. In some uneven terrain sites, the airflow is disordered, and the wind is weak and strong, which is not conducive to kite control, so it is necessary to choose a relatively flat site.
➡️ Prepare before flying a kite
Kite flying needs to wear loose, suitable for outdoor sports, check whether the laces are tightened, whether the cuffs do not affect hand movements, etc.
Before flying a kite, it is necessary to carefully check whether all parts of the kite and flying equipment are normal. The kite is composed of three parts: the skeleton, the mask and the tail, and the relatively complete flying equipment includes the lifting line, connecting line, connector, flying line and kite wheel.
➡️ Tips for kite flying
In the field, the front end of the downwind outlet should be selected, and the kite can take off while releasing the line, and most kites do not need to be pulled by running, and one person can fly it. First, the kite is released by the wind, and then the string is gradually released. When the wind is light, pull the kite while moving to keep the kite rising.
Pay attention to different groups of people flying kites of different sizes, children should not fly kites with an area of more than 1.2 meters, especially soft kites with a large pulling force, children are easy to fall or strain when flying.
I hope that the children will experience the fun of kite flying in the spring#春日生活打卡季! #
