Air kite

An air kite is a battery operated, remote controlled flying device. They are made from lightweight materials and incorporate a tail fin and a spinning propeller. They can be flown relatively easily, requiring only a modest amount of practice.

An air kite often incorporates LED lights for night flying. Once the sun has gone down, these little devices can look quite out of the ordinary as they fly past unsuspecting onlookers. It is important, however, that the pilot stay within range of the radio signal in order to keep the kite from crashing.

Once piloting has been mastered, an air kite is capable of performing very complex maneuvers. Steep dives, stalls and loops are all commonly performed by these devices. As the pilot becomes more proficient, trick combinations can be achieved as well.
