Abstract
A power assisted flying device is disclosed, wherein a vector control apparatus is used to help lift and fly a kite or kite-like object. Two servo motors may be used to move a gimbal mechanism to which the control motor is attached. Another kite-like object is disclosed wherein there are brackets to directly connect servos and propulsion motors to a kite. An added structure is shown to quickly connect and disconnect a vector control apparatus from a kite frame. In addition, new kite frame fittings are disclosed and a vector control apparatus to lift and fly a rotating kite.
