Linus was one knowledgeable kid.
Interesting how the kite is up and not falling into a kite-eating tree.
Kites NEVER fall into trees when someone other than theone flying the kite is watching! Only when you are alone!
We used a fishing rod and reel with mono.
You always use string for a kite.
I tried to buy some string the other day – couldn’t find any.
plain and simple.
I didn’t they had monofilament in 1967!
The kite itself was probably made out of paper. (And some people reading this probably have no idea what “paper” is………)
Probably cotton, but hemp might explain the kite eating tree.
I can’t recall the last time I have seen a kid in the US flying a kite. I have seen it recently in Asia and Europe.
My aortic root is now made of dacron (see valve sparing).
Plain old cotton kite string always worked for me. It tangles easily; but it is inexpensive. We sold it in the hardware store…
Linus. Haha
I saw it in the US. But I live near a lot of immigrants.
Charlie Brown is just ‘stringing’ along.

Never flew a kite————-Is it too late for me?
Kids in Vancouver still fly kites! We used to watch Ray perform most Sundays weather permitting.

@JP Steve: Great video! That’s the way we (wife, kids, nieces and nephews, anyone else who happens along) do it (yes, U.S. kids still fly kites!)..Our kite lines are Dyneema…they have to be slippery and strong for this sort of flying.
The strip is very prescient , given the state of children today.
