There is an article on kites for lifting antennas in last month's (or it
may be the month before) QST. It shows a design for a simple to make,
serious lifting power kite. Can't remember the type off hand but I can
fish out the article this evening. The article contains dire safety
warnings about hands being ripped off and people becoming airborne !

Hi All
Does anyone know which kite type/size is best for antenna work. I
think
possible the delta type but others with kite flying experience might
know different. I am looking for a kite to carry an antenna wire up to
around 500 feet. I do have some met balloons as well and will be
testing
both.
I know all about Air Tfc Regulations and and have a suitable site
available, which belongs to me. This will avoid over flying others
airspace.
