Surely the kite is at its highest when all the string is rolled in ?

When you pull, it adds air friction to the lower side, causing it to rise.
Similar, though opposite, to why an airplane wing works.
The air passes more easily over it, than under it.
Everything takes the path of least resistance.

Infallible logic, on a faulty basis. The kite rises when you -tug- on the string, not when you actually decrease the length of string by reeling it in.

~~~Pulling on the string is giving tension, stiffness,,that lets the kite grab the air,,,which pulls it higher in the sky,,,and yes, most of the time if you get a good wind and let the string out,,that will make it go higher,,,~~~

No, the kite is highest when you let the string loose.

Wow. No, that makes no sense. just go get some string and fiddle around with it. Use the brain and you will figure it out.
