Watch the battle between Jedi and Sith amongst the clouds with these highly-detailed Star Wars kites from The Kite Factory, to be released this spring.
Fans can take their pick from the new lineup of kites which include: the 13" x 13" Yoda Micro Kite made from Rip-stop nylon and fiberglass with a flight handle, line and manual; the 34" x 33" Darth Vader helmet Figure Kite made from Rip-stop polyester and fiberglass with a flight handle and line; and the 24" x 24" x 19" 3-D TIE fighter kite made from nylon and fiberglass with a flight handle, line and helpful manual.
For a complete Star Wars kite collection, be sure to also look for the previously-released illustrated Darth Vader Diamond Kite, the triangular Delta Kite featuring Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader dueling and Starfighter Figure kite -- on store shelves now.
For first-time flyers, The Kite Factory President Frank Alonso offers these handy tips. "Pick a large open area," Alonso says. "A park or wide beach with appropriate wind condition is ideal. To launch it, hold the kite up with your back to the wind. Let it go as wind picks it up. Slowly give more line as it goes up. And don't forget to follow basic safety rules, for example, do not fly in storms or near power lines."
