Delta kite

The delta kite is based on the Vogels of the Musicaerial project.

The kite is relatively small (much smaller than the Hata kite). After the first design (see Too complex to get symmetric), I simplify the design a lot, and simplify it even further when the yellow fabric is not in stock, so I have to use what fabric I have. Similar to the hata, there is a black horizontal band in the middle of the kite, which will be used to make the pressure sensor in. The other two colors are red and yellow. The black returns at the bottom of the kite as the lower band.

The delta is tricky to fly and definately needs a tail to be stable in the air, something I also noticed in the first version. Some experimentation will be needed to find the right length of the tails - or perhaps I should check the Vogels again, for the tails that that version has and copy these.
