Read Carefully
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR SAFE KITE OPERATION – ADULT SUPERVISION RECOMMENDED
Do not operate near electric wires, power lines or power poles due to risk of electric shock.
Do not operate in a small or confined space with people nearby.
Do not operate in stormy or wet weather – Avoid harsh winds and electrical storms.
Fly kite in a BIG open space with no obstacles, trees, buildings or people nearby.
At least 50 metres (55 yards) of open space is required in front and to the sides of the kite operator.
Large buildings or mountains may adversely affect kite flying due to wind turbulence.
Do not operate near water (ocean, river, pond, etc.).
For the best results, please operate kite while wind speed is 2-5 metres (2-5.5 yards) per second (5-12 miles per hour) maximum.
Wind speed higher than the recommended range will cause unstable flight, loss of control and crashing.
You may actually hear the kite string “hum” (a phenomenon called resonant frequency) in overly strong winds.
“Humming” noise is a sign that tells you the wind force is too strong. Retrieve the kite before loss of control.

Place your back to the wind – see Figure 8.
The length of string should be 1 metre (3 feet).
Swing kite up with nose pointing up.
Keep spool tension trigger pressed.
When the kite catches wind, carefully release
the trigger to let string go out.
6. Press the trigger as needed to keep the string
from becoming slack & the kite will gain altitude.
7. When wind is not strong enough, you can hold
kite above your head and walk or run into the
wind to get the kite to a flying altitude (height).
1. As an option, someone can assist you with launching
the kite – see Figure 9.
2. The assistant can hold the kite & walk back 20 metres (60 feet)
or more away from the operator in the direction of the wind.
3. The string must be stretched out.
4. The assistant can release the kite upwards.
5. The operator can walk into the wind to keep the kite airborne
& gaining altitude.
6. Once the kite reaches enough altitude, the Spool Lock Lever
can be shifted UP to the LOCKED position (turning the crank
clockwise will automatically lock the spool too) – see Figure 10.
7. If kite tends to move left or right, you can adjust the flight to be
“neutral” (steady and pointing up) by pressing left or right button
on remote. Point your remote antenna up.
WARNING: When the string is being released from the remote,
please avoid touching or handling the string. Do not wrap the string
around your finger(s) or hand to avoid possible injury. The Wind Chaser™
Line Winder Remote handles the winding and release of string for you.

HOW TO TURN THE KITE
IMPORTANT: The length of the string from the Remote to Kite must be a minimum of 30
metres (100 feet) or more for all stunts.

LOCKED in UP position for kite flying
The kite starts turning left when left side of the RC switch is pressed on the remote.
The kite starts turning right when right side of the RC switch is pressed on the remote.
The kite starts climbing up naturally when the RC switch is released.

HOW TO MAKE THE KITE TRAVEL LEFT OR RIGHT
You can move the kite to the left or right over a long distance
when left or right side of the RC switch on remote is pressed
and released (neutral position) repeatedly.
DO SUPER EASY SPIRALS
The kite will spiral if the left or right side
RC Stunt Switch is held down continuously.
IMPORTANT: As the kite spirals, it will lose
altitude & ultimately crash on the ground.
MAINTAIN a minimum altitude of 9.75 metres
(32 feet) at all times to prevent crashing.
WATCH the distance between the kite
and the ground ALWAYS.
HOLD DOWN
RC Stunt Switch
Left Side
If the kite is too close to the ground, simply
release the RC Stunt Switch to regain neutral,
upward flight.
Push the Spool Lock Lever DOWN to release
string from the spool to regain altitude. Apply
tension to the string by pressing the trigger.
Push the Spool Lock Lever UP to lock the
spool & start flying all over again.
Maintain 9.75
metres (32 feet)
or more minimum
altitude
DO FANTASTIC FIGURE 8’s
Press left & right sides of RC Stunt Switch
alternatively – the kite will trace a Figure 8
in the sky!
Kite turns in a tighter radius in a light
wind & turns in a larger radius in a
strong wind.
Please do not do stunts when the
kite is close to the ground.
It may suddenly crash.
If the kite starts falling down quickly
from a strong gust of wind, run toward
the kite immediately to loosen the string
between the kite and remote. The kite
will recover and start flying up again.
Press Right
& Left Sides
of RC Switch
Alternately
IMPORTANT:
Maintain minimum altitude of
9.75 metres (32 feet) for this
& other stunts

WINDING UP THE STRING
Point the remote to the kite and rewind the string by turning
the Spool Crank Handle.
If you feel the kite is hard to reel in because of strong wind,
walk toward the kite and wind at the same time.
Pay attention not to rewind the string at one edge of Spool
all the time – wind the string onto the spool evenly.
Do not pull the string in with your bare hands.
Use the Line Winder Remote to crank it onto the spool.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SOLUTION
PROBLEM
Wind Chaser™ does not
start functioning.
Ensure NEW AAA alkaline batteries are fully inserted
(correct polarity) into Steering Servo & switch is “ON”.
Ensure a NEW 9 volt battery is fully inserted
(correct polarity) into the Line Winder Remote.
Kite tends to fly left
or right on its own.
Poor range or
lack of RC function.
Press left or right RC switch on the Line Winder
Remote to achieve steady or neutral flight.
The TX antenna must be pointed up for best range.
Other RC devices, tall buildings, etc., may cause
radio interference – try a different location.
FREQUENCIES: Your kite and remote operate on one of two frequencies: 27MHz or 49MHz (40MHz in some countries).
Do not operate two radio control kites on the same frequency in the same area, as they will interfere with each other.
