Why is my kite flying upside down?

Furthermore, why does my kite keep flipping over?
If the kite is constantly spinning or turning to the right, the length of bridle line on the right side is too short. There may also be a knot that can be slid either right or left on your bridle. If the kite is constantly turning or spinning to the left, move the knot to the right, and vice-versa.
Also, how long should a kite string be? Three hundred feet is a great line length for kids, it's enough for most small kites; 500-ft. is the most popular length for adults and for large kites; 1,000-ft. is a good length for inland areas - it lets you fly your kite in the steadier winds at altitude; 3000-ft. is for altitude freaks.
Similarly, how do you fix a kite that won't fly?
Replace or remove part of the tail. A tow point is located back so a kite can be flown in light wind conditions or to stop the kite from spinning, too far back and the kite will refuse to fly… relocate the tow point forward.
What is the most stable kite design?
In terms of performance, rokkakus can easily beat any other type of kite. They're also more stable and reliable than the delta kite, making them perfect for professional pilots. The symmetry of the sail makes these kites ideal for kite art.
