Description Sting Ray Delta Kite – Black by In The Breeze The Black Stingray Kite is easy to fly due to the 6 foot wingspan and the stinger tube tail adds considerable stability. The applique design allows the sun to shine through the kite illuminating the beautiful design. At over 11 feet high, the kite is stunning as it swims through the sky. How do you fly a kite? Choose a day with light to moderate winds (about 5–25 mph or 8–40 kmh). Put your kite together inside. Stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up until it catches. Release the kite and let out some of the line, keeping it fairly taut. Pull the line gently to help the kite ascend. Reel in the line slowly and walk toward the kite to land it.
