I'm always impressed by the idea that this kite is computer flown :!: Still trying to get my head around how they accomplish that :?:

It's really me in a cardboard box with some Pansh handles/lines :tumble:

I am guessing that it it's goal is to keep it stable/looping. If it starts to go one way it senses a drastic change in pressure and much like we do, winds in some line to correct. So 160 square meters, Nick needs to get himself $500,000! Anyone else pick up on the whole foil on water thing? I know it's flown by a computer but dude! :~)
