Large Homemade Kite + GoPro
We spent three hours today building a large 5'6" kite out of balsa wood and very thin plastic, flown on 25 lb test fishing line. Before it could get very high, the balsa wood broke. Luckily, we had attached the GoPro to the string and put it on time-lapse mode, so we got some nice shots. We will build a sturdy kite over the next day and it will hopefully get much, much higher than this one.
