Hello everyone! I have always been fond of flying machines. Around the time that I had gotten started with rockets, I had picked up kites as a hobby I could take with me to the beach. Recently, with the thought of rocketry going downhill, I decided to rekindle an old hobby. I found this 85" dual line Alpha on eBay (see attachment). I seriously cannot wait to go out to the beach and give it its first flight. Prior to this, the largest I had was about 36". This should be a riot. When I can't fly rockets and the girlfriend insists we go to the beach, at least I'll have something new to do! Future plans are stackables, single line box kites, and maybe some other interesting stuff.
I'd like to eventually get a camera onboard a kite to take some pictures of interesting landmarks - ie, stadium, fishing piers, shores, statues, playgrounds, from a boat, etc. Check out this site dedicated to kite photography - <a href="https://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/kaptoc.html">Kite Photography</a> This guy has some amazing aerial photographs.
Anyone else into kites?
