G'day my first post to the group.
Something I have noticed when flying two-line kites is that particular hum=
comes in when the wind is strong (based on beaufort rating for kite) and t=
he line approaches the straightest it can be (no or little sag in catenery=
).
As you push the kite toward your azimuth (parking the kite overhead) the h=
umming would reduce or stop as the pulling/lifting power reduce.
This leads me to think kites that fly in lighter winds with less line cate=
nery might be an option. Try out flares and sled flares or some of the mode=
rn peter lynn type box kites. They have good lift properties in relatively =
light winds and don't pull like steam trains. I also think the higher the h=
umidity the more chance of humming, so hot dry days are more likely to have=
less hum.
Also are you mounting your audio rig on the picavet? You could use an olde=
r style picket with 50 - 60 cm arms and mount PiP mics at the ends of the a=
rms and fabricate a Joplin disc... Or hang a Joplin disc from the picavet. =
Options options option.
