Well done Kites For Future

https://isomathe.de/description.html

It seems these folks are still making progress - they have a larger kite (3m?) and full launch/harvesting/landing cycle starting to work.

What I found really interesting is this is a low budget, open source project with published code and pcb/schematics for both ground station and autopilot. Here-s their github page Kites for Future · GitHub

And there are newer (4 months old) videos on youtube https://www.youtube.com/@kitesforfuture577/videos

PS there-s also a browser-based simulator for various parameters and wind conditions https://www.kitesforfuture.de/simulation17/kite_simulation.html
