stunt kite

Trick-flying kite

A stunt kite is a kite with two or more control lines, allowing the flyer to steer it through the air rather than simply letting it hover.

The multiple lines enable sharp turns, dives, loops, and other acrobatic maneuvers: We spent the afternoon flying stunt kites on the beach.

Also called a sport kite.
