I fly skybond mostly. I find it actually stiffer than LPG. LPG seems to soak up sand at the beach and can get completely jammed after a few wraps under these conditions. It has been tough to get a roll of skybond in the past but now they should be available.

for sure in

For Sale, some great Benson kites, by far some of the best workmanship found out there. I would prefer to sell them together but may consider splitting them up.
The standard has been flown once on grass and has never been to the beach, it is in excellent like new condition.
The vented I usually take out when the wind picks up, it really helps on those heavy days. It does have a little bit of discoloration on the leading edges from a recent trip to the beach, I am sure it will wash out. I am selling as now I go to the beach earlier in the day and do not really need this. I am also building 2 sixth sense kites right now which will take up some funds.
When I purchased these from Tim, I ordered 2 extra bridles (as I go through bridles a lot) and an extra lower leading edge, these will be included as well .
Thanks!

I think once you move into more performance line sets the weight is more recognizable as the quality control is better. The most standard weights are 50, 90, 150. For the quantum I probably wouldn't go below 90 unless it is a very light day as this kite is pretty heavy. I have a few 50 sets but just stick with skybond 100 and change length depending on wind and flying locations. A good set of lines will really help in improving touch/feel and how connected you are with the kite, especially when learning more advanced tricks down the road.

When I called to purchase my Widowmaker Pro, they told me that it was the last one they had. I'm happy and sad at the same time. It's a wonderful kite and really hope they can produce them again in the future. I also hope that Steve Tapp recovers from his health issues

Yup and I happened to get the second to last, had a kite on order for 3 months and Marianne called one day and asked if I wanted white with black pin-stripping or a black/white sail as they were the last 2 sails they had. Still very thankful that I got one at all even though it has not been flown yet and is awaiting a very special occasion if it ever does get flown.

I am having a lot of issues uploading images.
The upload starts and completes successfully but then a -200 error code appears saying the image can not be uploaded and the image thumbnail shows blank.
-
I've heard that you should just leave it and trying to fix it causes more issues but there are probably others with different opinions.

Bump, please someone buy this its good to have in the quiver for those just a little bit lighter days where you want the feeling of a big kite.
-
I fly this kite on 65 - 100 depending on where I want to fly and wind. I won't mention my issues with it until Lam gets back to me (maybe he has some solutions) but here is a short clip I made my 3rd time out with it.

Alright guys I'm going to continue to reduce this until it is irresistible.
120!
-
Price reduced to 130 you know you want this!
-
Basically shut the door on it and the last inch of the wingtips were taken off... The kite is in perfect order now.
Price reduced because I think this kite is out to get me.

Prism Zephyr for sale, I have had a string of bad luck after only flying it a handful of times and need it off my hands.
The first day out with this kite out of nowhere a dog appears and decides to play with it (image 2) -- patched with small piece of tedlar on the back
The week after it had a little run in with my car and both leading edges have been replaced( I think this was payback for not flying it)
Note there seems to be slight sail staining (it came from the factory this way)
For the reasonable price of 120 you can have all this shipped to your door.

BUMP... you know you want this.

I am back to receive some more enlightenment XD
I would like your honest opinion about a potential next buy: the flyingwings silverfox 2.3 or the premier widow ng?
I flew with a guy recently that had multiple silver foxes and some other very nice kites but was selling the premier widow as he was not too fond of it. I flew the silver fox a bit and it seemed like a nice kite.

I don't use sleeving on some line sets, it is easier to adjust that way. I do however check these carefully in higher winds as it can be cut through under a lot of stress.

Hey man anything that is worth it takes time. It will get more relaxing once you can keep the kite in the sky.
-
I am for sure in. Beautiful kite.
