You! Its been said you're a big bag of wind! Lay off the wacky, wacky weed for a couple of days, then ask the question again!

The 3'x5' will require a higher wind velocity to fly perfectly horizontal.
This is a function of fabric shear (fabric rigidity), all else being equal. The rigidness of the fabric will provide more force vertically over shorter distances (a smaller piece of fabric will require more force to bend by a given angle than a larger piece will). Therefore, the smaller the flag, the less additional force required by the wind to make it stand out horizontally.

the bigger kite has more to push so more wind is needed, it may take 5mph wind to get it up but as long as the wind is sdpread out in a larger area, it will fly just as easy as a smjall kite!!!

depends on which flag, us flag (theirs is full of bull **** so its heavier) or the confederate flag..which flew, not for hate or discrimination but for its states just like all the other flags..
