Hey Thrust, ever think about how birds manage to glide so effortlessly? I’m trying to craft a tiny kite that mimics that—any tips from a pro pilot?

Sure thing! Keep the wings long and narrow, like a falcon’s, so you get that big lift with less drag. Add a little forward sweep to keep the airflow smooth, and make sure the tail’s a bit smaller than the wings – it gives you stability without killing the speed. Light, stiff material helps it hold its shape, and don’t forget a sharp edge at the leading side; that’s what lets it slice through the air. Once you’ve got that, launch it at a gentle gust and let it glide like the wind’s your wing. You’ll feel the rush before the kite even hits the ground. Good luck, champ!
