    I've long been interested in KAP, but lacking the handy skills to build these things (and the time), it's only been an interest.

    Dang, those images are amazing.

    besides the kit flying, can you imagine the "post sorting" that takes place....

    The information from the links is great (the rig setups pics in particular)! It convinced me to try this at home. I just purchased a 4 Servo RC Sender/Reciever Kit from ebay. Next thing to buy is a kite (still researching) and after that I'll spend a weekend in the basement to build a fancy camera platform. Will keep you posted :D
