Hey Guys, how are you all doing. I know i have been Innactive for a while now, school has me swamped. But the good news is that i have some free time on my hands now, Hehehe.
RC planes are Fun, But then imagine a powerful secret corporation stopped electricity from flowing worldwide and we couldnt charge our models. So the only thing we could do to connect to our hobby was to do somethjng that was Just as thrilling because thats the only way we could survive.
Anyways.........................
Flitetest has grown over the years and its still gaining a global fan base.
It would be nice if you guys Created an episode on How to build various types of Kites and then compete with each other to see which Kite :
-Gets up in the air Quickest
-Stays Stable
-Which one can hold the heaviest load e.g (Keychain cam)

this challenge is open to My fellow flitetest Fan brothers.

Please lets make this Happen.
Much love, Peace.

This isn't something I know a lot about, but I know before FPV and digital cameras people have been getting aerial photos by putting a camera on a kite. Pretty much when cameras where first invented people strapped them to a kite.

Lame site I found: http://www.kitesoar.com/kitephotography.html

I found out about using kites to take pictures from a local piece about a local artist Craig Wilson: http://www.fromakite.com/

I know that different kites are perfect for different wind speeds. But I don't know which is best for which situation. But to seriously get into taking pictures from a kite you need a wide variety of kites and you need to know when to use which one.

I was out flying a kite with my son today and I finally got it airborne this evening when the wind finally got gusty enough. I was thinking of a tow-glider kite launch while I was running around like an idiot.
