Chinese Dragonhead Kites consist of an ornately colorful dragon head and a long body consisting of several round disks balanced by feathers. First lay the disks flat on the ground spreading them out perpendicular to the wind. The kite is launched from the tail upward. See the video to see how the Chinese dragon kite is launched. The individual disks of the kite body catch the wind one at a time, eventually lifting dragon from the tail up!
