HorizonHobby.com Preview - Premier Kites comes to Horizon Hobby

Premier Kites have been known for innovative ideas with their kite line up. This time it is a radio controlled kite! Sometimes a different idea can be somewhat surprising for sure. Premier is offering three new kites that utilize a vectored power, radio controlled steering unit to enable the kite flyer to pilot his kite without the limitations of strings being attached. We had the opportunity to talk with Vic Audo from Horizon Hobby about this new and exclusive line. Vic will outline the features of these new kites. Then we will go outside and give you a chance to see what it looks like in the sky.

If you see these in the sky you might want to fly one yourself!

I like the concept a lot, but what happens if you get distracted and run out of battery power. Haha, I can just see this thing floating away in a breeze never to return. Also, I was a little let down with the price of these products. I was thinking these might be interesting to try out, but they are simply out of my price range for now. I'll stick to my super stick and p40.

@lay3Rv2 Not as bad as you make it. The ESC will cut the power to the motor when voltage drops to the cutoff point. At that point, yes, the kite comes down. If you pull the throttle stick to low you will get a few seconds of power, you can do this three or 4 times so (yes I have done it) you get a chance to bring it back. Best thing..don't run the battery to the kill point.

nice setup but next time wireless mic's or hide your wires ..lol

great vid

grtzzz

@poerik HaHa, I'm turning in a new budget for equipment! It is difficult to display something as large as the kites in the "indoors" setting. These things are huge!

About 400.00. Thats silly.

I have the Eagle with an upgraded motor and servos and the Pyramid Racer, box stock. Lots of fun to fly.

[RoboTekno]

HAHAHA this is awesome :D The string-less kite :P

[rlwieneke]

Why didn't they show the ARF Pyramid Racer flying?

[melas]

Nice idea. It could be used for aerial photography

[goover78]

Very interesting but waaaaay overpriced

[zostritch]

those are cool next thing you will see is a nitro kite...that would be a skat kite

[jonnyspeed]

I don't get it... doesn't strike me as something many people would be interested in. Much rather fly a plane personally.

[tomtom4867]

i think that it is great and i want it to do well because the guy who jim was talking to was nice and if this doesnt do well then i will be disapointed :D

[MrShockyboy]

Hehe !

very nice idea!!

Love that...

I love kites and this looks interesting.
