Question

Can you still fly a kite even if there is no wind?

Community Answer

If you run really fast and let the kite trail behind you, you may get it airborne, but getting it to an altitude where it can catch thermals and stay aloft would be pretty difficult.

Question

Can I make a kite with line paper?

Alberto Zoul

Community Answer

Yes, it’s the same thing as paper, but there's no color to it. The line paper is lightweight and goes higher, but it’s gone as soon it hits the ground.

Question

Can I use tape as a substitute for staples?

Community Answer

No, because the kite will fall apart easily without more things to secure it.

Question

Can I use tape instead of staples?

Community Answer

No, because the tape will easily fall apart and it might affect the aerodynamics.

Question

Can you use glue instead of tape?

21 Jackson Davis

Community Answer

Possibly but you will have to hold it together while the glue dries. Staples will be much easier to use than glue. But if you don't have staples, use a strong glue suitable for paper.
