Thanks, Hamish. I've got some steel too, so maybe I'll use that.
And good one, Andy - nicely cross-referenced now.

The height that you can legally fly the kite (60metres) is rather restrictive with getting decent views of cropmarks which can often be quite extensive. |

Blimey, that's not very high. I didn't realise that when I bought a 500ft line!

I see that Hamish has included the text "Kite Aerial Photograph" with all his kite photos, so if you go to the Photo Gallery page and enter "kite" in the search box, you'll find all the Kite Aerial Photographs that we have here.

My newly built rig weighs 500g all in, I hope my kite can lift it.

I suggest you fill up a plastic bottle with water to a similar weight of your rig, attach the bottle to the kite line and fly it. You can then see how well the kite lifts the weight, and how the weight present on the line affects the performance and flying characteristics of the kite.
