Maybe even the end of huge kites. _________________ MSN has temporarily removed commenting on our websites while we explore better ways for you to engage in discussion on the issues you care about.

Atleast the skier would control the motor instead of somebody in a chase vehicle. _________________ "I have often regretted my speech, never my silence" ~Xenocrates www.freeridekiting.com bobgatpdx Since 04 Oct 2008 218 Posts Stoked Sun Feb 07, 16 10:02 am     Pretty easy to make a drone that can be controlled with normal bar inputs - would feel just like a kite. Would have to be pretty powerful to work on water.
