FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A fighting kite has no tail and is less stable in the air. The unique design allows the kite to move through the air. It might veer to the right or left or even go in circles or even go into a dive, when just holding the string. Upon letting the kite string run through your fingers, it will turn. Upon pulling on the string, the kite will fly straight in the direction the nose is pointed. The Wind Warrior can fly directly over your head in a straight climb, dive toward the ground or turn right and left. This allows controllability to maneuver the kite in a competition.

In most parts of the world, fighting kites are flown from roof tops with glued, powdered glass 3 feet down from the kite and you attempt to cut other kite strings. Last remaining kite in the sky is the winner. This type of competition can be dangerous and most fliers will certainly loose their kite.

In American competition, we will fly a kite over the line of our competitors kite and fly downward to cause an obvious deformation in their kite line, then turning upward and fly out again, avoiding tangling the two lines. That is 1 point. Best out of 3, best out of 5 or you choose.

The Wind Warrior fighting kite is hand made out of Ripstop Nylon and Carbon Fiber rods. These are extremely tough kites which offer many years of flying without breaking. Most other fighting kites around the world are made out of tissue paper and bamboo.

We recommend flying in wind between 10 to 20 MPH.

Yes! The Wind Warrior has two adjustments. Upper bridle adjusts the yaw. If the kite tends to turn in one direction more than the other, you simply adjust the upper bridle. A kite turning too much to the left, you adjust the bridle a bit to the right or vice versa.

The main bride adjustment is for angle of attack the kite experiencing into the wind. Should the string pull too hard against your fingers, a simple adjustment will cause the kite to have a steeper angle into the wind alleviating the pull of the string. This will also cause turning to be slower. or more of a circled turn rather than pivoting in a tighter turn should the angle of attack be less.

The beauty of this sport is it's for ages between 9 and 90. Anyone can enjoy the experience of flying the fighting kite. Although it can wear you out after about 2 hours of flying.
