Wind Speed:
Designed for light to medium winds. Strong winds may cause damage or loss of control.

Launching:
Stand with your back to the wind. Have a helper hold the kite upright, release 20–30cm of line and gently guide the kite upward as the wind catches it.

Controlling:

• If the kite dives or becomes unstable, ease out more line or step toward it.

• If it sinks, walk backwards to help it climb into stronger airflow.

Safety & Age Guidance

• Young children require adult supervision and help identifying hazards.

• Choose kites appropriate for your skill level — beginners may prefer smaller designs.

• Watch your footing; uneven terrain can cause trips while looking upward.

• Avoid flying near roads, railways, buildings, airports, or powerlines.

• Keep clear of people and animals to prevent accidental injury.

• Use sun protection during extended outdoor play.

• Prevent line tangles and supervise children closely.

• Do not fly over water or in extreme fire danger conditions.

• Avoid modifying the kite — changes may affect safety and flight.

• If the kite becomes stuck, do not climb trees or take risks retrieving it.

Fly safely, embrace the breeze, and enjoy the colourful, carefree fun of your Swallowtail Kite.
