Kite Day 2004 will be held on Tuesday June 1, 2004 with
a rain date of Wednesday, June 2, 2004 at 1:00. On
this day, you will bring the kite that you constructed with your partner to
fly it. I will be grading your kite on how well it flies.
Here are some suggestions for Kite Day.
Don't forget to bring some string! Kites won't fly without it.
Bring sunblock.
Ask yourself what could possibly go wrong and have a solution thought
up for it.
Put together a repair kit so you can get your kite back into the
air.
Bring material to make a tail or drogue for your kite even if your
test flights were successful.
A slightly faster wind can make a well-behaved kite dive wildly.
A tale or drogue can stabilize the flight.
TEST FLY YOUR KITE BEFORE KITE DAY!!!! Don't be surprised.
Kite Trivia - In 1887, E. D. Archibald, an English meteorologist,
took the first aerial photograph by attaching a camera to his
kite.
