    Designing a Kite for a Truck Adventure

    I'm searching the internet for plans for somthing that fits your criteria that I can use or scale up. I'm not an engineer or anything so I pretty much need to copy a design 100%

    Designing a Kite for a Truck Adventure

    We have a multirotor but I'm not sure if we want to use it with a tether behind the truck.. I think a tapered delta design with a couple of skis for take off and landing is what I should go with. I'll try for a 2.5m^2 Like you're saying strive. I should be able to get something like that...

    Designing a Kite for a Truck Adventure

    Researching my trip I have found that the speed limit on lots of the ice roads is actually only 25km/h

    10° of sway should be fine, the gimbal will be able to handle that much. Do you know of a platform that could be modified or a kit that would be suiting or do you think this is something that could be built from scratch easily enough?

    There will be lots of driving on desloate roads. It probably would be wise to not use it anywhere where there's a chance of other vehicles

    Designing a Kite for a Truck Adventure

    Flying high above the vehicle is what I am looking for. I guess, how high above should be determined by vortices perhaps as you say they are a considerable problem. This will help determine the lens and camera that I use. I never considered vortices so that is valuable information to think...

    Designing a Kite for a Truck Adventure

    Hey, I am embarking on a drive to the arctic circle. I have spent a bit of time googling looking for a kite to pull behind my truck to film the adventure and can't find much useful information. Is there anyone that could design or point me in the direction of a place to design a decent kite to...
