  1. I have just recently got a New tech Techno kite... It looks like the previous owner might have done some modifications on it.. I was wondering if you happened to know where I could find the factory specifications on the kite... including standoff length and top spreader length and Bottom spreader length as well .. 

    Thank you in advance. 

    Good Winds

      Hi, I don't know myself but I encourage you to repost your question here - I'm sure someone will have the answer.

      Hi Kite Girl.

      I am not personally familiar with the kite but found the following information on it (attempts to post a link were futile but copied this info you request):

       

      Top spreader: 7.5 mm / P200 Graphite 56cm

      Bottom Spreader: 7.5 mm / P200 Graphite 74cm

      Standoffs: apparently there are three sets according to the reference I have. Make sense?

      Inner and centre standoffs are stated as 3mm carbon 24 or 25 cms (for both, so seems to be variable?) and the outer is apparently 2mm fiberglass 23cm.

       

      There is also some data on the kite on the Windpowersports site which specifically refers to Sky Shark spars, and includes a bonus video of a kiwi flying it:

      Don’t know if New Tech is still around but I hope this helps at least a little bit.
