LED Kites

Remember your childhood? You were probably one of those kids who loved to play kites in the field.
But... Kites? Kites aren't that cool. You know what's cool? Kites with freaking LED lights and fireworks attached to them—that's cool! And that's what's in this video: a bunch of cool kites with cool lights and fireworks galore.

These amazing kites are flying over the Caspian Sea in June of 2009 in a special performance for the President of Turkmenistan. The delta kites are 17' wingspan kites with Super LED lights and fireworks all controlled by radio control. The diamond kites are 6' wide and 6' high with 100' tails. The kites are two line steerable kites.

Now this is a big boy's toy if we've ever seen one - rather large delta kites which feature 17-feet wingspan, equipped with fancy LED lights and fireworks for added effect, where all of them are controlled via radio. Of course, for those of you who live (or were visiting) Turkmenistan last June would have seen it, where they were paraded before the President in a special performance. The diamond kites themselves measure 6 feet wide and are 6 feet high with 100 feet tails, now how about that? This isn't something that we'd hope will come crashing into our homes, otherwise be prepared to call the fire brigade!
