Kuba's Kite Page

Contents

Why this page exists First of all I was trying to somehow lift a camera to do arial photography. A kite seemed like the easiest way to do the job(and probably is). So I was looking for a good kite that would be able to lift the camera and the other equipment nessecery. The first try was a sled kite and it wasn't able to provide steady enough lift. After watching kites and flying kites for a long time I was pretty sure that deltas have the most stable lift. I looked for designs for deltas on the internet and in books but I couldn't find any plain ordinary deltas. So I just tried building one just by remembering how they looked and it worked. Since I couldn't find any Deltas on the internet I made this page on kites.org to help anyone searching the internet for a design for a Delta. I will soon try to add more information on how I will try to fly the camera. I just rescently added another page on how to build a pretty simple sled kite cause now I figured out how to keep it stable. A Delta is still more stable but the Sled is much easier to build.

Camera The camera just hasn't had a lot of luck, cause i can't figure out how to get the camera remotly operated. I have a 2 channel radio with a control and servos but its too expensive to risk flying. The camera would probably be a 1 usage camera so I don't waste a lot of money if the kite crashes and it breaks. If you have any ideas please contact me. Thanks
