The flying box was a dream of Chad's back when we didn't even have color cameras yet! (just kidding, we have Photoshop)
After a few designs we laid it to rest, never having a successful flight with the box.
Fast foward 4 years and we run into Kelly and Anthony. Turns out these guys had been working on the same thing before we even thought of it.
The main difference is instead of giving up and getting distracted by something even crazier (like we do sometimes) they stuck with it and developed the Glow Kite.
These babies are the product of 5 years work, countless design adjustments, and a few custom made components just for this craft.
While we were shooting the wind wasn't too kind, but it just proved that even with the wind these things fly amazingly.
Our biggest problem when trying to fly a box was control, but the tail system they figured out is borderline genius.
As of now this is a project between father and son. BUT, they say if somone who consideres themselves a kite/RC person would be willing to help figure out manufacturing they would love to get in contact.
You can find a promo video and send Kelly a message at youtube.com/fantastglowkite.
As always, these are the moments that light up our hearts. Seeing a father and son get together to creating something unique and amazing is why we do what we do.
If you have some awesome projects that you've made with your loved ones, post a picture or a video with #flyingfamilies.
