This has been a really good day. I finally got the right kite and the right camera together for Kite Aeriel Photography.  The new Parafoil Sled 36 has more lifting power than I imagined it would and the Canon PowerShot A490 takes great big 10 megapixil photos. 
Previous attempts have been with snaps taken from the video camera and were not very good.  Now I've got to have stronger string.  I'm sure that one good puff of strong wind will break what I have now and I don't want to take the chance of loosing the camera or the kite.
