Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the LEDs on Delta Altimeter Kite visible during the day?
A: No, they are not. These kites are primarily meant to be flown in low-light conditions, from sunset to sunrise. They do, however, log data for use any time of day. Mode 11 of the standard firmware turns the lights off but continues logging.

Q: How much battery life does this kite get?
A: The battery life of LED String Alti (the altimeter in the kite) depends on which settings are being used and how it is flown. Generally speaking, several hours of flight should be possible when using good fresh batteries. For example, you can get around eight hours of battery life using Mode 1 with the batteries that come with the altimeter. Rechargeable batteries can be used, but the LEDs will be slightly dimmer.
