Well done. Interesting idea for a KAP slide show. Bill

Some fun there! And looks like a great spot, too. Bill

Neat shots. Bill

Super! I've got to get my GoPro KAP rig in action. Bill

That's super. And what a cool location. Bill

Very nicely done. Flying and the videos. Would your NikNak have done as well in those light winds? Bill

I appreciate that. Gives me an idea of what to expect in flying under very low wind conditions. Bill

Very interesting. Bill

Been waiting for your impressions. Great looking kite, too. Bill

Nice. Looks like a great place for KAP. Bill

A quick measurement using a Google map tool shows Canarsie Pier to be about 5.6 miles to the center of JFK. And about 3.7 miles to the closest runway. Bill

That makes absolutely no sense at all. I'd like to see that regulation.

It's one of the reason I've sold much of my quadcopter stuff. They are getting way too much bad press. More restrictions are sure to follow. Besides as a pilot I don't need my job threatened because I've done something stupid while using one. I've backed waaaay off on their use. More money for kites! Bill I flew from Ft Lauderdale to Pahokee back in the 80's, and was going to do a touch and go. I touched down, and started my takeoff roll, and I heard on the unicomm someone announcing that they were landing on a very short closed cross runway in about the middle of the long runway I was taking off on. I couldn't see any aircraft approaching, so I quickly decided to abort my takeoff and set back down and slam on the brakes on the 172 I was flying, figuring that this would get me stopped before I hit the cross runway. Lots of burning rubber smell and skidding of tires and I came to a halt about 50 feet from the short runway, and a RC aircraft with about a 6 foot wingspan flew across the runway I was on and landed on the closed runway. I looked to my right, and there was the idiot holding a RC radio and wearing a headset, flying this aircraft and talking on a radio that he had tuned to Unicomm freq. I taxied over to where he was standing and threatened to pick up his model and beat him over the head with it. If my wife at the time, hadn't been there, I probably would have done it. Taxied back, and began my takeoff, and of course, now the tires on my Rental 172 are making a thump-thump-thump sound as I took off. Nice flat spots etched into the tires.... He got off easy. I'm sure that you could have made major trouble for him. Bill

That's an interesting read. Bill

Nice. What are wraps? Bill
