Thank you for your comments. I hope you are enjoying as much as me, too! Yes, they are very good fliers and prove to be a worthwhile addition to portable antenna operation. Thanks for dropping by. 73.
I have the exact same kite for antenna purposes. I the sticks in the rim of the wing with full length 8mm carbon rods, and it really made a difference.. more vertical flight, better lift in low winds, and better looking kite :-)
Pulls 42 meters off litze with 20 mtrs 450 ohm ladderline in fair winds :-)
DC is excellent low wind kite, often can not survive high winds.
It works better in trains, as it improves both lift and ability to survive strong winds.
I simply pull train line through opening in DC body.
For low winds I use larger DC, it lifts 80m of wire in winds under 5kmh.
