Posture
you have to sit in the seat with your back against the back of the chair with your feet flat on the floor. your fingers must be on the guide keys and your wrists shold not be rubbing on the edge of the table.

HOW A KITE FLIES
A kite is heavier than air, so to fly, it needs lift, an upward force the wind that is greater than the pull of gravity keeping it on the ground. For maximum lift, position the face at the correct angle to the wind (the angle of attack) by setting the ring accurately on the bridle.
The best point for the ring is usually about a third of the way down the kite, but small adjustments can be made for varying minds. Even with the bridle pre-set, the angle of attack changes after launch, until the kite reaches its most efficient flying position.
Preparing to Fly
It is best to fly a kite on a flat, open site, which is free of obstructions, such as trees, buildings and overhead cables. If there are other flyers around-as there will be at festivals-choose the clearest part of the sky for launching the kite. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a force of wind to make a kite fly: light to moderate breezes are the best, although some kites, such as heavy boxes or more robust stunters, are designed for stronger winds. Always assess the wind speed before launching a kite.
Stunt kites
Controlling a stunt kite in even basic manoeuvres adds another dimension to kite flying. Once a single kite is launched, you can enjoy the spectacle, whereas a stunter needs constant steering to stay in the sky. As a rule, the kite lines should be 45-60m long. Although you may want to shorten them as you become more experienced; the shorter lines, the quicker your reactions will have to be. If this is your first attempt at flying a stunter, get the feel of the kite before trying any moves.
Materials and equipment
Most of the materials are available from specialist kite stores and mail order companies, although mountaineering shops can be good source of tapes and thick climbing rope. The choice of materials depends on the type of kite you are making. Fibreglass rod, for example is ideal for the flexible bow of a fighter, although inappropriate for the rigid frame of a box kit, where dowel is best. Kite making equipment can generally be found around the home; some tools, such as a circle cutter, give quick, accurate results but are not essential.

My holiday
In the holiday I went to my mum's house in Hamilton it was all right because I got to see the fast and furious as well as my brothers and sister.
A few days later I went to my dads in Rotorua to help out with the kids and baby sit for a while. My dad was unfortunately busy with his rugby team weekend camp at the school so he had to go.
But before he went to the camp he took me, my brother kahu and sister morewa to mini golf over by the luge. My brother and sister were buzzing at the animals just roaming around the course especially the rabbit. Pigeons flew around high as and then landed on the trees and walls.
While we were playing I saw some kid nut out at his younger brother and I couldn’t help not laugh at it.
My little brother fluked two hole in one’s. I got three because I’m skilled nah joking.
When we got to the last three holes my sister and I got the comp on and as I went to putt, this stingy as family walked right through our game. I was winning by one and we’re on the 17th hole shockingly I landed on a penalty shot and it was a draw for the rest of the game.
