squeeking and honking

the combination of a stiff breeze, waxed flying line and resonant sail material provide the fighter kite enthusiast with the unique opportunity for some big laughs. run your hands up and down on the taught flying line and sounds resonate from the kite. annoy kite pals and onlookers with your hilarious antics. the more astute may want to paint appropriate graphics on the kite for embellishment. a horn, a flock of geese or two lovers completing the circle of life. those inclined to genius might try fixing a tin can to the end of the waxed line to fashion a flying megaphone. hmmm, doppler effect!
