The Kite - 1

The kite worked!

During our August road trip Lindsey and I managed to fly the kite 4-5 times with the rig and camera, once we forgot to the camera on, but the other 4 times we flew it worked. The Launch with the Rig and camera attached was at the side of highway 13, somewhere in Saskatchewan. This was the time we didn't get shots from the Air, Lindsey Did take these of me testing the wind though.


The next day in the eastern block of Grasslands National Park we flew it again. 





We then drove to the west block or Grasslands and flew it there also, We flew it twice, the first time the wind died before we could really launch the rig.





 I tried again the next morning and the wind held. We got the rig up about 200', these are great photos! 


















On the way back we had a little extra time getting to the next camp site and flew it one more time over a random farmers field. 









I will try to document the rig later.
