Depending on the altitude of your kite and your exact location, you were operating an aircraft in Class B or D airspace without establishing two way communications with air traffic control. And you were in side the Mode C veil, which requires a transponder.
No, I’m not kidding. A kite is an aircraft.

I think this is about the first time the media hasn’t called these events “near misses”. Maybe the grammar police are making progress.

How large?I've owned models with 9' (108") wingspans that weighed in at 35Lbs powered by a converted 6hp chainsaw engine swinging a 28" wood propeller.

Police Drone ???? Has it come to that? It started when we let them use radar, now we're all on the Truman Show.

I actually saw one plane veer to the side to avoid it.

I doubt the commands were hacked. Once you know the frequency range you simply jam every frequency being used in the range. With a stronger jamming signal, the commands are lost in the noise. It doesn’t matter how many times the frequency changes during the period.
There’s nothing really high tech involved.
