Hello Mirko
,
A baloon and a kite to stabilise.
A kite alone would probably do if not very very high winds or no wind at
all.
In good conditions a kite only can hold your antenna up for quite a time.(
days )
Think its a worthwhile  experiment
There is already a lot off stuff on the net, try ea search engine.
Good luck
