I have been in this beautiful & amazing hobby for almost 7 years now....flown many gliders, High & low wingers, deltas & jets...mostly foamies & some balsa...
Since past year I'm experimenting on RC kites....my dream to put electronics on a kite since childhood.... :giggle:
My First successful experiment was a Rogallo wing..my 7yr old son just loves to fly this one....its slow & forgiving ... http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/let's-rogallo/
Second experiment was RC Eagle Kite...http://www.rcindia.org/kites-trains-free-flight-and-all-others/rc-kite-eagle-32243/
There were many such experiments & attempts ....
About 3 weeks ago ....my son wanted to buy some kites...so we went to the local market and to my surprise the Kite owner showed me a huge kite....
in-fact it was the LARGEST kite I had seen in Pune...it had a WS of 96 inches, yes ....8ft..so I bought it without giving a second thought... (:|~ (:|~
I was planning to build a large Rogallo wing out of it.....here is a pic.
My son calls it a " DAD's MONSTER KITE " >:D >:D :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
I was planning to build a huge Rogallo wing using this kite, but thought that the fuse would be larger than height of the kite.
so made a few modifications & build a the fuse on the kite itself...
here are a few pics taken during the build process
tail ready .....
finally ....shes on the field... ;D
