To avoid nose dive crashes in kite flying, follow these simple steps:
1. Check if the bridle line on the right side is too short. If the kite is turning and spinning continuously to the left, move the knot to the right.
2. Stand with your back to the wind and hold your kite up by the bridle point.
3. If there is an obstacle between you and the wind direction, check if it is stable. If there is, use lightweight and strong kite string.
4. Add a tail to help add drag and move the weight of the kite down, helping gravity keep the heavy backend down.
5. Relaunch nose down by adding brake line tension.
6. Try to get the kite to the desired height as quickly as possible but remember to keep tension in the line or it will lose height instead of climbing.
7. Repeat this process for each kite dive.
8. If the kite nose dives or spins toward the ground, it may be due to too strong winds. If the kite nose dives or spins toward the ground, move the knot to the right.
In summary, ensuring a stable wind, using lightweight and strong kite string, adding a tail, and adjusting the bridle position can help prevent nose dive crashes in kite flying.
