GoFlyKite
The GoFlyKite range is unique, spectacular and huge fun. These radio control kites are well designed and solidly built and will change your whole percepion of radio control model flying.
Built of Carbon Fibre the structures are strong but also look dramatic.
Both
models fly using an elevon control regime and can be used with most
transmitter/receiver combinations as long as elevon mixing is
available.
In flight, the kites are fast and fun. They will move swifltly but respond instantly to control input. Don't confuse these with indoor flyers, these are fully fledged performance flyers which will challenge and reward experienced flyers as well as provide fun and experience for the less accomplished.
The Kites are supplied fully built, including LED lights. There is no construction required. All that is needed is to strap on your chosen receiver and check the control functions.
Hand launching means you can throw them into the air wherever you have as safe space to fly. The electric motor means an almost noise free flight with minimum disturbance to anyone close by. To land simply bring them in low and slow, nose up, and drop them onto the ground close by.
Night Flying is where these excel. If you've not tried it, you're missing a whole new experience. Both the SB42 and ProIII are fully lit with red, green and white LED's which give immediate orientation cues. The lights are bright and easily visible to both you and any onlookers. This makes it both easy and safe for you to fly, and visually stunning for the audience that is drawn to see what the mysterious lights in the sky are.
