bbailey49 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hello, Karma warriors. Apologies for the delay in getting the new drawing posted, but this one should be worth the wait. mtgrizzly52 is offering a Flexifoil Stranger Level 7 Dual Line Kite designed by Andy Preston. It is light purple, dark purple, and white in color. mtgrizzly says it is unlike any duallie he has ever flown and a bit beyond his current abilities, so he wants to give this kite a chance to go to someone who can put it through its paces. Here is a link to a video of this kite in action. It looks like a capable stunter to me, but what do I know, I'm a quadhead. Good luck to all! The drawing will be done on the last day of February. The RNG will decide the winner. Enter by starting a post in this thread with "I'm in". Entry number will be by order of entry. Standard Karma Note from the Moderators This is a Karma Drawing. The winner of the drawing is expected to pay it forward by offering their own prize for the next drawing. Please do not enter unless you are willing to offer your own prize, preferably not the prize you just won. Drawings should be open for entry approximately 2 weeks, and the next drawing should be posted as soon as possible to keep the Karma rolling. These drawings are run by and for KiteLife members. The moderating team only ensures that your drawing post contains all of the pertinent information (drawing date/time, adequate prize description, drawing rules) before approval. If you are a KiteLife member from the US or Canada, you are eligible to enter. You do not have to be a paid subscriber. Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize. Here is the link to the original Rules and Guidelines thread: http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/5426-rules-and-guidelines-please-read/ The mechanism for the drawing itself is entirely at the discretion of the person offering the prize. In the past, entry number has been determined either by order of entry or by the post number in which the member declares entry into the drawing. The drawings have been performed using the RNG method (http://www.random.org/sequences/) or by choosing the numbers out of a hat (I believe an adorable daughter did the picking in that scenario). The only requirement is that the method of selection is clearly spelled out in the drawing post. Entry into the drawings is done by STARTING a post in the drawing thread with the entry phrase chosen by the drawing host (Traditionally "I'm in", but "I LIKE" has been used as well). In order to remove any confusion or misinterpretation, only entries with posts that START with the phrase will be considered. As with all other KiteLife drawings, bantering is encouraged. This is for fun after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucifer Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm in - Can't resist throwing my name in on this one for my first Karma drawing attempt. Looks like it would provide years of fun and experimentation. Yippee!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Wow! Classic kite, great unusual kite for anyone's bag - nice prize mtgrizzly, thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah, WOW ! Where did you find one of these ? From what I know, this is one of the most radical stunt kites ever made. I think the quote from the end of the video says it all, it will take a few days to learn how to fly it, but it's worth it. Just the look of the kite alone... there isn't another that's even close in design. Good luck, Karma folks, this is a real piece of kiting history ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtgrizzly52 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I bought this kite brand new in Lincoln City around 2008 at a kite store which is no longer in existence. I flew it a couple of times in L.C. and at the WSIKF in Long Beach that same summer. I was very intimidated and frustrated with the kite, but finally got to the point where I could do a few tricks with it. I put it in my bag, and it has sat there since because I really love flying Prism dualies and then two summers ago, discovered my love of quads. The Level 7 has about six to seven hours total, if that, and it was never crashed hard, so it virtually is a new kite. Even though I was never able to master it, the area I live in is windless 99% of the time and my kite flying until recently has been minimal between kite festivals and trips to Lincoln City a couple of times a year. I really hope someone who has good wind and a good basic command of tricks wins the kite and learns how to fly it like you see in the video. Good Luck all and enjoy! mtgrizzly52 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim P. Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm in, or at least I'll try. That's a cool looking kite. Strange but cool! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtgrizzly52 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's white butter cream frosting just to make that Level 7 look that much sweeter and tempting for all of you! *LOL* Actually since that picture was taken, there is hardly any of that white stuff left and we had about 3 1/2 feet of it sitting in our front yard about 2 weeks ago. mtgrizzly52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
