While holidaying in Albany recently, I tried out my new 9' Levitation Delta kite at the Sandpatch, near the Albany Wind Farm. Not surprisingly, the winds were pretty good for kiting (that's exactly why there is a wind farm there), and I got my GoPro camera airborne for some aerial photos.

I am definitely enjoying the Delta kite. Although it doesn't pack down as small as the FlowForm 16' that I have been using for the last few years, the Delta provides a much steeper line angle, flies in a wider range of wind, doesn't require as much wind, and is easier to launch and retrieve.

I just love these (and a great choice of location here!). Will we be seeing some more KAP shots from you in the near future? I think it's been a while since you last posted some. PS: I don't know how to subscribe to responses only to my own comment posts on your blog.

@Richard: Yes, I'm intending to do some more KAP. I recently replaced one of the servos on my KAP rig with a metal teeth servo, after the servos stripped the teeth on one of the plastic gears.

There's currently no way to subscribe to responses to your comments - but if I respond to a comment, I'll normally email the commenter too ;)
