You hold the kite above your head angled upwards and run against the wind and let the kite do the test of the work

Kites fly by harnessing the lift force generated by the wind as it flows over the kite's surface. The shape and angle of the kite help create lift, while the tail helps stabilize and steer the kite. Gravity acts downward counteracting the lift force, and tension in the string keeps the kite connected to the flyer.

Why does a kite fly on an angle?
Wind forces act, for the most part, horizontally. Kites are shaped like miniature parachutes - they capture the wind, and due to the shape of the kite, they are forced upward. the combined forces along with the string keep the kite in it's place.

Do all kites need a tail to help them fly?
No, some kites fly badly with a tail. The tail add stability to a badly balanced kite but it also adds weight so can drag a gently pulling kite down. Unless a kite is homemade or asymetric in design it should be well balanced. As most kites are now mass produced and quite accurate people mostly use them to look pretty! A few kites (Sodi's) have rope tails to add weight at the base and produce the correct angle of attact to the wind. A looped tail made from a single piece of fabric and attached at two points on the base of the kite is used on some kites such as smaller sleds to add to the lift. Kites such as box kites and tetrahedral kites are stable without tails. The most common kite requiring a tail is the flat diamond kite.
