Wind Powered Helicopter Kite

WIND POWERED HELICOPTER KITE

Just bought this helicopter kite & i enjoy flying it,
be one of the first few people on this earth to own the kite & you can look cool flying the helicopter kite cause it can do amazing stunts & tricks, when i fly the kite at the park or beach, people become amaze as the helicopter kite uses the wind to do all the stunts.

If you guys wanna own this cool kite, ive add a link for you to get it,
the helicopter kite cost US$35 inclusive of freight charges to any part of the world plus with insurance so no worries mate. I've checked couple of others website which sell this kite at a cheaper price but actually when you calculate the freight plus insurance charges, it actually cost more than US$35, so i think this site offer the best price.
cheers all & happy flying

How to perform stunts?


Touch-n-go Landings - are performed by releasing a length of line very quickly to release the tension on the flying line. As the copter sinks out of the sky and approaches the ground, the string should be pulled in quickly. With practice the copter will just touch the ground and then power back into the sky.


360 Flat Spins - are performed only in strong wind conditions, with much practice. The copter will often "wash" back and forth in high winds. By timing a 10-12' release of line at just the moment that the copter reaches the outside edge of its flying pattern or "wash" the copter will spin completely around and may loose a little altitude. This trick is difficult but with a few hours of practice it becomes quite easy.


Pin Point Landings - are performed when the pilot becomes used to the wind conditions and the angle of attack of the copter. A really great game is to try landing upright on a specific target. A gentle release of line, will allow a delicate landing which will keep the copter upright.


360 Rolls - are the most difficult stunt to perform, and take very specific wind conditions. A steady ground wind with some gusty winds above ground level are the best for this stunt. When a gust of wind hits the hovering copter at a mid level altitude the copter will often "rock" backward as the rotors wind up quickly and create too much upward lift. This "rocking" motion is the beginning of the 360 roll. It is at the beginning of this motion that the pilot must pull in about 10-15' of line very quickly, causing additional speed in the rotors and this excess lift will allow the entire unit to roll over. After rolling over the copter will often loose a great deal of altitude, but should recover quicly and begin to ascend again before hitting the ground.


Carry A Payload - believe it or not this copter will carry over one pound of payload if the wind speed is high enough. I suggest using an empty soda can, to practice. The easiest way to maintain a steady high wind is to fly off the back of a speeding boat. This allows easy wind speed adjustment. It won't be long and you will be tying all kinds of payload to the bottom of the copter. You can combine stunts by putting a small wire hook off the bottom and doing a pinpoint landing to pick up a payload with the hook.


Dog Fight Another Copter - is just like it sounds. Try to knock the other guy out of the sky, and he tries to do the same to you. The last one flying wins. Here is the secret! Never attack from the same height or below your competition. Gain altitude and attack from above. Your steel landing gear will hit your friends spinning rotors knocking him down quickly.
