If only there was a way of powering the U-Haul with the kite, you'd save a fortune on fuel. Difficulty would be making sure the wind was blowing the right way for 3,000 miles...  :toothgrin:

Yep! The thing is designed to catch some air and inflate the "wing" into a very efficient airfoil rather than the normal flat surface of a dime-store kite. I'm sure you've seen the larger versions pulling small surfboards and the 'pilot' along the shore. Mainly in warmer climes, of course. Like FL?! Be sure to take it with you!! :thumbup: :clap: :whistling: :Thinking: :eek:
:rofl:  I gave it to a couple of strong young boys who live around the corner. Maybe they'll fly around the world and land in FL? HAHAHA
