The method according to the invention for controlling a flying object (2, 20) having a stiff airfoil ( 21 ) and being controllable by means of a roll movement for carrying out lateral turns, with which the flying object (2, 20) is connected to a ground station (5) by means of at least two tethers (3, 4), such that the flying object ( 2, 20) rolls during flight by means of a differential movement of the tethers (3, 4), and that the flying object (2, 20) is rolled during flight by means of such differential movements and is th us manoeuvred by means of the turning flight that is caused in this way. Said flying object (2, 20) can be operated by means of the controlling reel out speed and reel in speed with an average power maximised over a flight cycle consisting of a power phase and a depower phase.
