This was a fun project that took some time in the making. The idea was to fly a giant Moai in Rano Raraku to illustrate the “Mana” (spirit) of this UNESCO world heritage, to invent an other crazy theory by which the Moais would have been transported by kite from Rano Raraku to the Ahu around the island, but above all the main idea was to have fun! Peter Lynn Kites in New Zealand designed a prototype based on Moai #294, the maiden flight of the final version (40 feet tall) was done in Ashburton, New Zealand, back in September.

CONAF, the Chilean authority that manages the archeological park gave the authorization to fly the structure, but unlike on a kite festival or on a beach I had very limited space to evolve as I could not walk on the grass and of course I had to be extremely careful not to crash on one of the statues !!!

Here is a KAP view of the limited space I had to inflate and take off :

Mo'orea (Tahitian pronunciation: \ˌmō-ō-ˈrā-ä, ˈmō-ō-ˌrā-\[2]) is a high island in French Polynesia, one of the Windward Islands, part of the Society Islands, 17 kilometres (11 mi) northwest of Tahiti. The true spelling of Mo'orea is Mo'ore'a, which means "yellow lizard" in Tahitian:

And if I turn my back, and I leave it all.

I'll be running fast, 'cause I can't be owned.

A GBU-43/B MOAB on display outside the Air Force Armament Museum near Eglin AFB, Florida.

<From the information plaque at the museum:

The GBU-43/B MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast) bomb, nicknamed "Mother Of All Bombs" is a large, powerful and accurately delivered high explosive weapon. The MOAB is the largest-ever satellite-guided, air-delivered weapon in history. The 21,600 lb MOAB is an improved replacement for the unguided 15,000 lb BLU-83 Daisy Cutter in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

MOAB is a guided bomb which delivers 18,700 lb of H6 explosive using a BLU-120/B warhead. It uses the KMU-593/B GPS/INS guidance system and is stabilized by series of fixed wings and grid (lattice) fins. The unique lattice fins offer excellent aerodynamic properties.

The MOAB was developed, tested, and fielded by the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate, Air Armament Center, the 46th Operations Group, Detachment 1 in concert with other agencies and contractors. Within 10 months, the MOAB program went from development contract award to delivery into the Operational Theater.
