+Timothy McDougald No, not always, if it's a good kite, and there's optimal wind conditions the kite should basically fly itself. In the Outer Banks in NC on a good day, with my favorite kite I could hold it above my head with some slacked line prepared, gave it a little _pop_ up, and away it went. It may sink down for a second so that it can find that sweet spot angle that kites use to fly, but it's usually very simple. In fact there were times when I was able to send it up, and then tie it to my lawn chair. If you let it go up high enough if the wind dies down for a bit it will go back up on it's own when the wind picks up again. Norm just really had no idea what he was doing.

Love the fake coldplay and dr dre at the end! cool kite Norm! Very fun show and tell.

Beaches are always good plays to fly kites, went to the Florida Treasure isle kite festival a few months back gotta say kites have become amazing 150 feet long squid kites that look like dogs cats sharks crabs dragons (most dragline basically windsocks). But it's cool to see some of these things.

Who knew that a kite could be a chick magnet?!??

Just nice to see something that isn't a drone or 3D printed. Cheers.

You will find this Ship kites in Bali everywhere. From the airport shops to the beach vendors. They have been selling these kites at least for 15 years.

well I am happy that the sailing boats I am usually on don't crash everytime there is no wind. also Norm not very good at having the right weather :D

Thumbs up for not giving up

Nice norm!

Yeah, has to be very windy for that thing to stay in the air. And there was no wind at all at 1:35 lol Still looks awesome.

In all my years matey, I never thought some Jim Lad in their land o imagination would think o this!

a kite that needs a tornado to fly, practical :D

Man I was hoping for a drone view!!

2:24 maybe it just hated Norm lol

I think if this kite were twice it's current size, it would fly better in slower winds. It's almost too small for low wind speeds. But it looks cool! Thanks.

I don't know about you, but I've usually needed a decent wind to get my kites flying. And they weren't heavy and in the shape of a ship.

wow, this video just remind me i used to fly this kite with my bro at the beach when we're kids.

Thats a nice kite too bad noone goes out anymore

Going to all these none windy areas and expecting a kite, let alone an abnormal one, to fly.

That was crazy

Hello friend. I love this ship kite and I'm thinking i make one , but I need you help me sending some pictures of hull frame, dimensions, details, all you can sen. I hope you can help me. Thank you.

I thought someone like Norm would be smarter than to try and fly a kite with no wind.

Adam should do a boba fett helmet build!!

Add a camera mount for POV viewing & recording.

Funny thing is I have one, but I have hanged it from the ceiling in my dorm.

If you brought that thing up to the High Desert in California, it would've flown away. The string would've snapped and that thing would be GONE.

sadly, they are claiming a design that has been around for awhile, is a cheap import with a big markup from Southeast Asia, and was also produced by New Tech Kites in more current materials for years.....

Apparently all Norm had to do was find a couple of girls who were 2 decades younger than him to fly a kite.

Kites need wind you know.

You need a strong wind which, judging from the trees around you, you didn't have.
