The camera went up!

Overall, today went pretty well. We managed to get the camera up on the small kite. CRW_3830.jpg

The wind gave us a few problems, though. The camera came down a few times and we had to run to grab it. CRW_3839.jpg

The big kite, however, had issues. After letting it out around 80 meters, the kite took a dive to the right... into a building. WHAM. This isn't a sound you want to hear. A few tears on the front, but not horrible. The problem came when Stuart was moving the kite. A gust of wind caught the kite around him. SNAP. Another bad sound. The carbon-fiber sticks were fine; an aluminum connector was not.
