A kite has a bridle to provide stability and control during flight. The bridle adjusts the angle at which the kite faces the wind, helping to balance the forces acting on it and ensuring that it flies efficiently. By distributing the tension from the line evenly across the structure of the kite, the bridle helps prevent damage and allows for smoother maneuverability. Overall, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the kite's proper orientation in the air.

The bridle is how/where the line you fly it with attaches to the kite. On the simple sort-of-diamond-shaped kites many of us had as kids, it's the three tied strings on the concave side of the kite.
To attach the string to the kite, first locate the bridle, which usually consists of a set of strings or lines that help stabilize the kite in flight. Take the free end of the string and tie it securely to the bridle using a simple knot, such as a bowline or a double knot, ensuring it is tight enough to hold but not so tight that it restricts movement. Finally, make sure the connection is balanced, allowing the kite to fly smoothly when launched.
To tie a string to a kite, first locate the kite's bridle, which is usually a support structure made of string or line. Take the end of your string and create a loop around the bridle, then tie a secure knot, such as a double knot or a bowline, to ensure it won’t slip. Make sure the knot is tight, and trim any excess string if necessary. Finally, check that the connection is secure before launching the kite.
Lifting bridle or mainsheet bridle?
To fly a star kite, first ensure it is assembled correctly and check that the bridle and string are securely attached. Choose an open area with minimal obstructions and light to moderate winds. Hold the kite against the wind, letting it catch the breeze, and gently release the string while pulling it in to help the kite ascend. Once airborne, adjust the string tension to maintain altitude and control its flight direction.
