=== Fighter-kite control systems === The traditional fighter kiting with single-line control dominates kite fighting while multi-line kite fighting is yet a minor activity. The human operator of the single line aims to master movements (tugs, jerks, releases, directional movements) in order to have the unstable kite temporarily move in one direction or another. The intents of the controls are offensive and defensive; escape from an attack or position for an attack. The building of the kite so that motions by the kite's human operator or pilot allow a temporary limited stability takes special care.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://afghana.com/Entertainment/Gudiparanbazi.htm|title=The Art of Gudiparan bazi - Afghan Kite Flying|website=afghana.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://expo.nectec.or.th/tat/sport/kite.html |title=Kite Fighting.
