Default RE: Simple Kite Question


ORIGINAL: Shoe

If the kite will fly up, how does it know which way is up?
It doesn't. But gravity does. If the kite has the proper Center of Gravity to Center of Pressure relationship and if the kite is bridled correctly, it will stay pointed up. If stability is marginal, a tail will also help.
