Finally, there is the pull rope for tying the kite, which occupies about 1/2 of the top part.Don't tie it too high. The position of the bottom tie should be about the horizontal position of the two ends of the bow-shaped bamboo wire or slightly below it. After tying it, drag the rope with your hands to pull up the kite and run around to test the stress on the kite.
