Ohh, I'd never heard of Mumble. Just did a quick look, and I could see how I could rig something together with a raspberry pi and some peripherals to make this work. It's certainly worth investigating.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Bluetooth can get a couple hundred feet of range, which would be plenty.
I don't want to rely on an online option, because this is often used on the coast or internationally where cell service may be unreliable or non-existent.
Yea, I've looked at those too. If they just had voice chat, they could be a winner
There's a bit of a community, but it is too small to show up much on most social media. Almost all of it is on Facebook these days, which is the only reason I have a FB account.
There's a few groups out there like Sport Kite Pilots Longe that are pretty good spots for online conversation. Otherwise, we mostly meet up at Kite festivals. My next event will be the Washington State International Kite Festival during the 3rd fill week of Aigust
I do sport kite flying and kite making, and I love it. It's incredibly small and niche.
The kites are multi-line kites that can be controlled from the ground, and I typically fly to music and perform at kite festivals. I also build my kites myself by sewing together ripstop for the sails, cutting down carbon tubes for the frame, and 3d printing fittings.
But it isn't the whole comment, just particular words
