Abstract
A radio controlled single string kite allows for the performance of controlled stunts that are generally only found in two string kites. A remote control includes R/C electronics, a string spool, a spool control and right and left turning controls. The kite includes a wing string and an R/C receiver (RX) unit connected to the bottom of the downwardly extending center wing (or keel). The wing string connects the main wing to the keep via the R/C receiver (RX) unit. The R/C receiver (RX) unit includes all R/C electronics and gearing to control the position of the center wing with respect to the main wing through the selective movement of the keel through the gearing. The R/C receiver RX unit remains connected to the remote control (TX) via the string on the string spool.
Claims20
A radio controlled model comprising:
- a kite having a main wing (104) supported by frame members (102), and a downwardly extending center wing (106) having a lower portion, a link line (108, 308) connected to opposing frame members of the main wing;
- and
- a radio control receiver unit (110, 310) connected to the lower portion of the center wing and having a gear mechanism configured to receive the link line, the radio control receiver unit (110, 310) being tethered to a remote control transmitter unit (10, 210).
A radio controlled model comprising:
- a toy model having a main wing supported by frame members, a central downward extending wing and a link line connecting opposing frame members of the main wings;
- and
- a radio control steering mechanism connected to a bottom of the central downward extending wing and having a gear mechanism connected to the link line, said steering mechanism selectively moving the position of the central wing with respect to the main wing along the link line;
- a radio control transmitter unit connected to the radio control steering mechanism by a cord and configured to provide radio control signals to the steering mechanism and thereby selectively move the steering mechanism and center wing along the link line.
