RT Kite Messenger - The Envoy Part 1

A Kite Messenger is a device with one or more sails that is hooked over the line of a kite already in flight. With a good wind, the messenger climbs up the line towards the kite. At a predetermined stop, the messenger triggers a release mechanism that allows the sails to fold and then returns safely down the line to the kite flier. Some people attach pouches for dropping small candy treats. Others drop stuffed animals with parachutes. Still others have fit messengers with small cameras for taking Kite Aerial Photography or KAP. Kite fishing with a kite messenger is also possible. Messengers are great crowd pleasers and are even more fun to use.
