Very nice photos.

Dumb question: Is there a small digital camera attached to the kite that can be used to take photos remotely? IOW, how the dickens are those photos taken?

Which reminds me, I don't know if I will have the right equipment to take photos of the lunar eclipse tomorrow night, dangit.

You need to get yourself a kite midget. They snap the photos from the kite for a nominal fee.

I only want a kite midget if he's house broken.

The 2nd one, I think, is New Zealand. Man it looks like paradise to me.

I just ordered one of these rigs IPU.

It would be awesome if you would fly one either in or just outside of RES or LES during a game. But we are so used to blimp shots it wouldn't be that big a deal.

This one is spectacular as well:

Let me know how much fun it is so I can't come up with any excuses to not buy one.

Should I get one, I will make every effort to get it into RES for a game, especially the U/Y game.
