The flying kite's are called Trikes. Here's a link from WikiPedia: [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_Trikes]Ultralight Trike[/link]

I used to fly with a lot of guys who flew them. As a matter of fact, when we flew together I was usually the only fixed wing aircraft in the group! hahaha. I flew in one a few times, but I just liked my Excalibur better - a personal preference.

I think you will be the first to make an RC version. Contact Quicksilver and see if they can help you with plans, drawings, whatever. Who knows, they may even sponsor some of your work.

Good luck!
