This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Construction and Flying of Kites It takes the wind to make the kite go; Just how, they don't quite know. Without going too deeply into the physics of the various problems of kite construction, the consideration of a few of the simpler ones may not be out of place. If a boy undertakes to fly a tightly stretched, plain-surface kite, he will soon find he has about as foxy a problem as he wants to tackle. He will soon discover that he needs ballast, but the ballast needed is not mere weight. A piece of lead suspended to a string will not answer the purpose - will not give poise to a darting kite. It finds its vertical position too quickly. If we had a very steady breeze, we might work out the right attachment of bridle, and add just the right ballast here and there to'make a partial success, but we must consider cross-currents, whirls and calms, and all such disturbances that a boy encounters in all kite-flying. The boys use a tissue paper tail for ballast. The tail steadies the kite, not so much by its actual weight, as by the pull due to the resistance it offers in being drawn through the air. It takes much longer for a tail of this kind to drop to its normal position and is a constant balancer during that time, being sufficient to carry the kite through a temporary disturbance, or to the adjustment of a contrary breeze. It is the same principle as the one employed by the rope walkers who poise themselves by the use of fans. So much for kites with tails.
