3. In no case can not run a kite near power wires, mills and other moving obstacles.It is dangerous to life.
4. Do not fly a kite during a thunderstorm - it can attract lightning to you, and do not run the snake near the airport (in many countries it is forbidden to do at a distance closer than 5-10 km from the airport).
5. It is best not to run a kite around other people and animals in order not to frighten, and for their own security.In addition, be sure to try the dog catch the snake, and when the wind dies down, they succeed.
6. During the launch of a snake on a clear day, wear sunglasses, not to hurt the eyes, and do not forget the sunscreen.

Learning to run - the basic rules and the types of kites:
1. ready to go fly a kite, first check the wind speed according to forecasters.Optimal for normal flying snake is the speed of 6-8 meters per second.
At lower speeds can train newcomers, but fly well will only light the snake, and the snake at a higher speed can be run only by experienced people.If the wind speed exceeds 14 meters per second, the weather - not to launch kites.
2. Snakes are managed and unmanaged, the rules for their start-up and treatment of these models more widely.So before you buy a snake, decide for yourself what kind of suit you the most.
3. When you run a snake wind should blow in the back and hold the rope in the face of his assistant, if they fly a kite together.Therefore, when a sharp volatile wind it will be difficult to launch and control the flight of the snake.
4. It is best to fly a kite together - one is face to the wind and keep the snake's nose up, and the other holds a rope, with his back to the wind.It is necessary to unwind the rope for 15-25 meters and pull, and at the first strong gust of wind pulls one string and the second snake throws up.
If snakes just to "catch" the wind, it will take off, or someone who holds a rope, you need to retreat - as long as the wind does not pick up a snake.
During the flight, the snakes will be lowered and raised - when he falls, pull the rope over to your flyer fell out of the air flow.However, make sure that the rope is always taut.If the wind increases - unwind a little rope to kite flying was stable.
Remember that snakes flying wherever he looks, "nose".To lower the unmanaged snake on the ground, just to slowly tighten it to himself, reeling the rope.
5. If you have to fly a kite alone, you put it in front of him, move a few meters unwound the rope, and pull for it when you feel a gust of wind.Snakes fly if the wind is suitable.
6. Rope kite called a lifeline - from unmanaged models it alone, and sometimes driven feature two, three or even four lifelines.If you learn how to manipulate them, your snake will prescribe complex shapes in the sky.
7. Before starting the check-managed snake that his handholds same length.Let the assistant holds the snake's nose up, tighten the rope and the steady breeze Pace back, back to the wind and pull the handholds.Keep your hands in front of him, at a distance of 30-40 cm from each other.
Snake will rotate in the direction from which you pull the lifeline.Over time, you learn not only to control the flight of the snake, but to write it in the sky different figures.
main thing - make sure that during the execution of various "maneuvers" handholds snake is not entangled.If this happens, take the necessary movement in the opposite direction, to untangle the ropes.
8. to land controlled model snake pull on one of the side ropes - snakes come out in a zone with a minimum lifting capacity and gradually falls.
9. If unmanaged snakes suddenly started to spin and fall nose-down, do not pull abruptly Guard rails, moving back, otherwise you will hasten the fall of the snake.Instead, release the rope a little, and under the pressure of the wind serpent will cease to fall.As soon as he turns his nose up, immediately pull Vereecken, then increase the lift and snakes soar above.
10. If the incident began managing snakes, and nothing you can do about it, then let it fall, not pulling on the rope, so as not to increase the speed of his fall, or he will hit the ground with great force.
easy flight and a good your wind kites!
