It isn't. "Kiting a cheque" is slang for writing a bad cheque when there is no money in your account. A kite is made of paper and has nothing between it and the ground - a bad cheque is paper and has no money behind it - you can see the similarities that made people start using the term "kite" to mean "writing a bad cheque."
