Just attach a black large feather or a Black piece of carry-bag at the end that keeps crow far from your foamy. Believe this. I have seen much fishery pond, black carrybag pieces bonded in string and covers over the pond with 5' - 10' Gap. Even I have tied one feather to Di-Pole antenna of my home that saves from early breakage due to crow and works nice.

But what about Eagles and vultures ? Is their brain smart like crow ?

Does anyone use Camera Xenon flashbulb at tail? Try with a mirror and sunlight pointing any crow. The trick may help from Vultures and Eagles too. Of course another channel is required in Tx/Rx.

Thanks
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

Kites/Eagles with their great eyesight are very curious birds i would say. They generally tend to flow gliders such as easy star. I have had multiple kites bites on my easy star with no damage as the plane would simply wobble a bit. I think they are just trying to provoke and checkout the "new bird's" reaction. Infact I treat them as a good sign. When I used to fly at baner; to the left there is a small mountain ridge which generates thermals. Around 8.30-9.00am you can see these kites flying in circles and going up. I just used to follow them and the plane gained altitude without any throttle.

Me too, i get twice flight time on the same battery on days when the eagles show up in baner.
Also eagles have very badass kind of attitude, they always try to intimidate you. You chase them and think you are scarring them off but the eagles enjoy it and will keep coming back for the rush of it.
Once three eagles were chasing my easystar. as i was flying very low i decided to land fearing a crash. I dived and landed where i can, one of the eagle dived after me punched holes on my plane and kept it pinned to the ground. When i ran towards it shouting my lungs out, the eagle quickly took a bite out of the wing tip, spit it out and flew away screaming  :o

problem with flying 3d is that they will not b able to get away, plane is another story,

i had so many close calls , i was just waiting for it to happen, i just hope they r klever enough to stay away but i guess not

HA HA HA HA HA i love the slingshot

That wasnt a very pleasant experience though - That was a Opus Full Carbon composite Turbine powered glider flyin at about 350 kmph that hit the eagle. There was a resounding Smack and rapid decceleration from 350 - 0 kmph . BTW the bird hit was on a full power vertical going up - I didnt see the bird and I doubt the bird saw what was coming.
Bird came down dead before it hit the ground and turbine stopped and glider kept flying.
Damage was a crushed leading edge- repaired now but not suitable for turbine power anymore.
