coming down for the day. Walked it down along the 100m running track. Measured out 350m of line and the camera rig was about 40m down from the kite

Measured the pull on the line with a luggage scale at 1.7kg up to 2.1kg
The angle of the line at the winder was 60 degrees

Wifi comms dropped out when the rig was less than 100m away. Comms did not reconnect when the rig was brought to ground. Wifi scan from laptop showed over 20 active access points, many that covered our wifi channel
Todo: review wifi reconnect attempts, log wifi signal strength
