Smile Aero Kontiki - world first!!!!

Have been helping develop a aero kontiki - for pulling out fishing long line into the ocean.


The unit uses counter-rotating elements (along all 3 arms) to pull the line out approx 400m.

There are 2 GPS units on the unit, so initial placement is recorded & once the line is dropped the unit returns to same spot by itself - no controls are used....it has taken many months and a couple of board spins to get this all working.

Now all we need to do is get better at actually placing where the fish are !!!

Max. flying time is only approx 11 min.

Very inventive. It makes for a fun outing even if the fish aren't biting.
