Next he’ll have his computer AI program beam instructions to the drone so he doesn’t have to leave his living room.

Hmm, can drones kite checks?

“Wind is so over-rated…”

So that’s how it’s done. I could never master kite flying They always spun into the ground.

My best friend and I when kids flew our kits really high. Was dinner time, so we tied the string to sticks we stuck into the ground and went home and ate, and came back about 40 minutes later and still up there. Seemed to take forever to roll it back in.

He could cut the cord (his kite string) – it’s not necessary (except for the sake of appearance).

Stronger than a drone bee.

It’s quite simple, Monty thinks outside the box …………………….. kite that is.

If Charlie Brown had a drone, he’d fly it into a tree.

Monty always spends his time well with useful endeavors.

$2 kite and a $900 drone… takes all the fun out of it… well, i suppose that’s the MONTY character, right?

It’s beauty of a day here, on the Southcoast of Mass, I shall go get a kite and take a trip back thru time. Wish me luck!

Carpet dime!

You got your FAA permit, pal?

We’ll know the Russians are running low on ammo when they start using kites to drop bombs in Ukraine.

I have been amazed over the past several decades at how parents don’t know how to fly a kite, and are out with their children, virtually ensuring they fail and make almost assuredly disappointing memories. First lesson – let out more string, 50 ft or more to start. Second lesson – pick a day with fairly steady wind direction. Third lesson – let out more string!! As kids, we’d usually let out at least 500 ft at a time.

Whenever Monty claims he’s figured something out, there are always strings attached.

Go fly a kite, Monty!

Letting a drone haul your kite along is not kite-flying! It’s just cheating and taking the easer way out. Charlie Brown’s kite-eating tree wouldn’t be moved at all….
