RC copter and kites

Some guy on another forum was complaining that people were flying their RC helicopters too close to his kite. Someone uploaded this link which I think it pretty cool camera angle of kite surfers.

Wow, that was a pretty cool video. There have been the ocasional times where I have to share the field with someone flying an RC heli or plane, but they never get that close. He was fairly close to that F-One Tribal, that orange Best, and the black and pink ?North Vegas?, but it wasn't close enough for any discomfort. Very cool video though.

I know they are just servos but the retracting secondary landing struts (@ 00:32) are just soooooo cool.

Someone put a lot of thought and love into that rig.

just think of the potential. hadlow has to hire a full size copter and pro cameras at a cost of thousands. a very skillful pilot could get even closer. just think of the angles!!! the only draw back is they are at the oppersite ends of the wind scale.

That was cool. Very neat Heli.
Anyone know what brand kite that black and orange checkered one was?
