	Kite flying
		This causes the kite to 1/4 spin almost a half axel towards the center of the window, forcing the inside tip to spike into the ground.
		Cause the kite to hover in front of you for an instant by using a snap stall (rock the kite from side to side by pulling left then right, to get the feel of it).
		When the kite is flat on it's belly during the rotation (nose away), you quickly pop both hands towards you, causing the kite to pop open facing down.

	Stunt Kite Flying Instruction Guide at WindPower Sports Kites
		For beginners, launching a stunt kite and getting it under control is almost as hard as mounting a bicycle and getting it rolling.
		As a beginner flier, your goal should be to move the kite in a big, lazy figure-eight across the sky.
		The axel is a spinning kite move beginning from a stall position.

	Miranda's Synergy Deca 1 Quad-Line Stunt Kite
		So I went over to World Wind Kites, and shortly thereafter I was the proud owner of a pretty new kind of quad-line stunt kite called a Synergy Deca 1 (like the purple one in the picture).
		The photo above shows the kite from the viewpoint of an observer facing the person flying the kite, and the one of the Deca 6 is from the front, but the kite has been turned upside-down and tilted back into a "parked" position.
		My kite is cheaper because it's simpler, but the material of the kite ripples some as it bends around the frame, and doesn't fly as smoothly.

	Peter Powell Develops the Modern Stunt Kite.
		Peter Powell developed the dual-line stunt kite in 1972, the kite that can claim the biggest impact on modern kiting.
		He gained fame by winning the silver diploma for his kite at the Exhibition of New Inventions and Techniques in Geneva in 1975 and by winning the British “Toy of the Year” award in 1976.
		Powell’s kite was the first to be accepted as an adult kite rather than a child’s toy.

		The kite is held aloft by the combined action of a horizontal wind field and the tension of the string.
		In addition to the gross motions of the kite, the wing ripples and deforms as the wind acts on it.
		The ground-ward end points of the control lines are moved by handles, and a control system is able to direct the path of the kite pulling on the handles in the way similar to that in which a real stunt kite would be flown.

	Seattle AirGear
		When stunt kiting in the usual way, or when using your kite to drag you downwind, the flight envelope is in front of you and rotates like a weathervane as the wind shifts.
		When different stunt kites are flown in the same wind, and are flying at the same location on the flight envelope, in general the larger the stunt kite the more powerful the pull.
		Kite speeds during fun-recreational flying, as while doing high-speed tight-turning aerobatics for the pure joy of it, are typically several to tens of times faster than the hottest trick-flying kite speeds in the same wind.

	michael stromberg » Delta Stunt Kite Flying
		So my plan was to look there to see if they had any kites and if not, head over to Panduro Hobby and Kreatima to buy the materials necessary to build a traditional diamond kite.
		We weren’t able to keep the kite in the air for more than about 6 seconds at a time, but those short moments were thrilling.
		Having read some more information about stunt kites, I now know that maneuverability is proportional to the amount of kite line let out.

	Basics of Stunt Kite Design (rec.kites post)
		If you want a radical trick kite, you might have a tight sail, curved leading edge, outboard and low set bridle and outboard stand-offs (like the Stranger, for example) but you loose precision.
		At the other extreme, a straight L/E kite with slacker sail, inboard bridle and stand- offs (say the Nothshore Radical) tracks like it's on rails, has excellent speed tolerance and great precision, but it doesn't trick well.
		This is why kites like the Phantom Elite have a "fade" pattern, putting the lighter, more resistive colours in the center and the darker colours on the outside, thus reducing optical drag at the wingtips.

	Gomberg Kites: How to Fly Stunt Kites
		For self launches, anchor or "stake" your handles down, then walk back to the kite and stand it up using the flylines as a tension against the wind.
		A landing is simply flying the kite to the point where it runs out of forward drive at the same time it reaches the ground.
		Even in a moderate wind, a typical stunt kite can be moving at over 60 miles per hour.

		If you're flying a kite upwards of it's top wind rating, or for you maniacs, above it's wind rating, you really do want to pull that nose in to keep all that stress off the kite.
		For larger, precision style kites I like the old fashion wind brake that goes between your fly lines and looks you are pulling around a part of a screen door or diaper (as we call them).
		They seem to work better for lessening the pull of the larger kites, and they come in a variety of sizes for different wind speeds.
