What is FLYING? FLYING is when your kite has airspeed (air flowing past your kite, just like air flowing past an airplane wing) which creates pull in your kite lines. Above, the WindDance 2 is flying to the flyer's right, tails streaming behind. The tails show the airflow's direction past the wing. See how the airflow is almost directly at the wing's leading-edge and perpendicular to the kite lines? It's that way everywhere on the flight envelope, no matter what direction the WindDance is flying. See how the flying lines are tight? That means the WindDance is pulling on the flyer.
