did a wind tunnel on a generic kite, if you add a streamer (Like all kite has) the lateral oscillation reduces considerably and looks cool too. do one flight with a streamer and see, if the ground result is same as the WT

  It had multiple streamers, which I cut out

Due to what I observed on the field initially about the kite going all over the place, I wondered if the streamers would get caught in the prop, that is why I cut them out.  But now that it is stable and takes off fine every time I chuck it, I will add them back... the easiest solution is to just get a new kite, as this one is showing signs of abusive testing already.

Really appreciate the pointer    


And thank you everyone for the kind comments

Anwar Bhai So colorful kite .It's very nice.

Some pictures. 

The current pitch control mechanism, which is just a rod that is held with a rubberband at the bottom to prevent it from moving, is highlighted.

BTW, people are doing a lot of fun stuff with RC conversions on kites !

Here is one with an tricky motor mount :

And a Kite-Wing glow model :

here is one more

It uses this vectored power unit :

The video below has more information on the power unit, starting at 2:50.

An interactive use for RC Kite... a fun way to introduce RC to masses !

Anwar Sir, Is there a less expensive option available like Jugaad RC? I don't want to spend 240$ for an RC conversion. Thx
