I agree Ha! They are like rabbits...seem to multiply rapidly in the closet.

Sorry folks I was thrown a curve ball on this one. I had to think it out. I have been slammed at work. It got put on the back burner until evenings so I would to have time think a bit. I posted "sold" to let folks is was no longer available one way or another, in hindsight should have posted no longer available. I knew it was gone one way or another from the posts and the pms but had not decided which offer etc. Carlos, if you sent me a pm I deleted it by mistake. I can't accept your offer as i had better offers soon after yours was posted. Mark I would have accepted your offer but received a pm from someone else that I had to think about, around the same time. It looks like the kite will be involved in sort of a trade. A bit of the spirit of kiting involved rather than the just $. The kite is no longer available. Sorry about the delayed response and thanks for your patience. It something would change I will PM to see if anyone is still interested.

Thank your for the info!

Beat up sail with non matching vent patches (done with glue) I'm sure it is pretty stretched, but it flies fine. Sold. Thanks

Sail only, It is in very good condition. no longer available

The sail only has a few hours on it and is in excellent conditions. Some minor fraying on the end of the leading edge. It is black and purple with the black center panel. $155 Thanks

I have a Premier Widow I can let go cheap. It has not been modified and in great condition. I will try and pm after work. Thanks **sold**

Thanks! i don't know how in the world you got a that basket full of parts figured out from that article but I sure appreciate it, T

I have that radio, So this is appears to be perfect. I would like to be set up this summer. I don't have a need by date. Thanks for looking into it!

That would be exactly what I am looking for. I don't have a clue on how to go about making one, even with the schematic. I can barely get my headphones plugged in correctly.

I don't have the knowledge, skills, tools, time nor the desire to learn for a one time project. Of course I am looking to compensate someone that has the time and skills to make me one. I am looking for one that we can mix music in. Thank you in advance for your consideration. T

beer... nope..iced tea...nope....iced coffee.. nope ....plants..my wife is the one with the green thumb......... even though I don't have a clue what I would do with it I love the design and will figure it out. I'm in

Love the design...if it was a coffee cup I would be in...I do not know what to do with a frosted mug

I am sure I contributed to the little issues, and may well have been 100% on me. The washers that failed had probably 5 hours on them. Regarding the mesh tear, the kite was after it's second flight. I had stowed it away 1 time prior to noticing the 2 inch tear. As foolish as it seems I did not inspect the mesh prior to its maiden flight. On the flip side we have a total of 11 revs and 3 broken race rods that broke in the air and a few hundred out of control crashes. My disappointment is due to the fact that the issues have been a couple of newer kites that hadn't really seen battle. I have a few extras washers in the bag now that seem to be a different material from the ones that broke. The new one are like plastic that ones that broke were like rubber.

I am pretty unimpressed with quality of the product / workmanship as well. We have had two ferrules come loose. My third original "o" ring broke last week at the top of a vertical spar. We had a leading edge mesh fail, and of course the fraying on the end of the leading edge is a little over the top. I almost forgot, we have changed a bridle as well. Easy repairs but for the $ amount they want for the kites I expect better.

thanks for the post, I have not thought about doing a reverse circle..next weekend I will be giving it a try.

Wayne, Do u have indoor plans for May the 12th or 15th yet?

Wayne On an indoor Rev: Regarding tuning the lines.. what/where is neutral. What kite characteristics are you looking for? Is your kite tuned to neutral? Why is the tuning made at the kite instead of the handles? Thanks
