Two-fisted action makes stunt fliers soar above the rest

Article Abstract:

Stunt kites differ from traditional kites because they have two strings instead of one. The two strings allow the flyer to steer the kite and perform stunts. Stunt-kite flying should be done in wind conditions of 5 to 10 mph and away from power lines and trees. Other flying tips are included.
