This was on the Discovery Channel last night, currently(or as of the taping of the show), you need somebody with a remote control to fly the kite. They said they were working on making everything autonomous - which will most likely be one of the more difficult challenges for this project.

I really don't see Flickr's (or Forrst's) approach a "trick" or feature. I think most deployment techniques come out of a desire NOT to deploy like Flickr(or Forrst).
