In this paper, the aerodynamic forces of a Korean Traditional Bangpae Kite with the wind hole and spanwise curved dihedral were measured by wind tunnel test. For the flat plate kite without the wind hole, the stall presents at ${\alpha}=35^{\circ}$ with $C_{Lmax}$=1.2. The Korean Traditional Bangpae Kite with the wind hole had $C_{Lmax}$=1.05 at ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ without the apparent stall phenomena. As the wind hole size growing, the lift and drag of kite were changed slowly after stalling angle of attack. As increasing the leading edge dihedral angle, lift curves were more increased than drag curves. As the growing of wind hole size, the effect of dihedral angle was constant affect to the lift and drag of kite.
