First, purchase according to your personal demands.

There are various kite styles of animals and characters, such as butterflies, centipedes, swallows, dragon, etc., you should choose your own satisfactory shape and bright colors. The elderly do not play a large kite or sport kites, for it requires a larger movement in the take-off and control, and sometimes need explosive moment, easy to cause injury. Beginners try to buy a simple kite of glass fiber reinforced plastics skeleton, easy to fly, not easy to damage, also economical and affordable.

Second, check the balance. Size, weight, flexibility must be balanced and symmetrical.

For the traditional kite, a kite completely symmetrical about the structure and area is not necessarily on that balance, because the fabric weight and the skeleton thickness of the both sides are different, and elasticity is different, both ends will lose the balance of forces.

The skeleton (bamboo) thick or less flexible side of kite will suffer stronger wind resistance, and the side of thinner bamboo skeleton and more flexibility will suffer smaller wind resistance. Thus ...
... the kite will show the unstable and unbalanced effect while flying. Press the bamboo and force it inner side curved to test whether the flexibility of bamboo on both side is consistent.

Third, check the horn line. The horn line usually applies the double, most appropriate to be twice the length of the kite size. The horn line is appropriate to enable the upper line to form the angle of 90 degrees to the kite surface. The leading line should be thin, strong, light and uniform, best to use the hemp twine or the nylon line.

Fourth, check fabrics.

A. Silk fabrics: white translucent, soft, smooth, is the first choice for high-grade handicraft kites. B, emulation silk fabrics: the white color is basically opaque， feel not very smooth, is commonly used in making conventional kites. C, non-woven fabric: generally white opaque, feel thick and soft, is the materials commonly used in the production of conventional kites. D, nylon and plastic fabrics: These materials are used in making sport kites, software kite, three-dimensional kites, and modern triangle kite. Good fabric is light, high strength, soft and delicate.

Fifth, see the skeleton.

Traditional kites are mostly made of bamboo skeleton, and the thickness of the whole body should be symmetrical and elastic. Modern kites use mostly glass reinforced plastic skeleton. Kite buyer should closer look at whether it has broken, crack, or sticky place.

Sixth, quality: reasonable structure, strong skeleton, binding firm, smooth surface and no damage.

Seventh, try flying. Hold the kite flat and gently fly forward, that sliding a long distance, and do not head dump is better.
