Go Fly a Kite
Long kite_
Before aircraft, balloons and rockets took within the job of
photography and meteorology inside the 19th and 20th century,
kites were used. They aren't just simple toys anymore.
Marconi used kites as part of his early radio experiments, and in
World War II, airmen were provided with a box kite and
transmitter, known as the 'Gibson Girl', along with their
rubber dinghy. Some radio hams still use kites. During World
War II, kites were utilised for anti-aircraft target practice,
for man lifting and also to deter enemy aircraft.
In China, kites were utilized for military signaling during the
sixth and eighth centuries. In 1232, a large number of kites
were release over enemy lines inciting prisoners to revolt.
Through the Peninsular War leaflets were dropped from kites.
Kites were used as a form of airmail between Maryland and
Virginia during the American Civil War.
During the 19th century, kites resembled birds of prey in
England and France for hunting grouse and partridge. China
has used kites with loud noise-makers attached with drive
game.
Reportedly, a kite was used to carry the first line across
the Niagara River to be able to build the bridge from New York
State to Canada. Just as, kites have been used to
carry telephone wires.
Many kites are elaborately decorated. The Artistic Kite
Group promotes kites as an art form. For centuries within the
East, kites have been used for fishing. This is done to
reach places you normally can't reach and to prevent the
'plop' sound associated with casting your line in the water.
The art of training falcons and hawks to hunt is quite
ancient and breathtaking to watch. Some falcons fly at
heights up to 1000 feet however, many never bother flying over
200 ft. By attaching a bait to some high-flying kite, you can
train it to fly higher than 200 feet.
Many people find kite flying being relaxing, and a easy way
to unwind. It also gets you out into the fresh air and
offers a bit of exercise.
Kites are now use for kite-sailing, kite-surfing, kite-
skiing and kite-buggying. There are two kinds of kite
races. You are the upwind kite race where contestants drag
strong pulling kites upwind and the other is downwind kite
races where contestants launch a kite and runs downwind
without allowing his kite to touch the ground. The first is
purely a test of strength
