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...- WhatmoughG

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?- WhatmoughG

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- WhatmoughG

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...- WhatmoughG

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...- WhatmoughG
