When I was looking at RC planes, the one that could hold a quality camera+fly for for a relatively long time is the skywalker X8(~200$ USD) + batteries, controllers and motors(~200-250) which comes out to about 450$ US. Where as a kite and a picavet costs about 50$ for a good kite and some scrap wood. Only advantage is a drone can be flown over houses, but kite doesnt have any "no fly zones" except maybe power lines On Fri, Jun 1, 2018, 6:38 PM Pierre Béland, <pierz...@yahoo.fr> wrote: > I dont know what is picavet.
