Stuart McCullough Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 This is going back in the bag. Thanks for looking. I am selling my home-built Monster std. in order to fund other toys. This is a great kite designed by Christian Derefat and built by me. It is built to the designers original specifications:Leading edge: 6mm pultruded (one piece)Upper Spreader: 6mm pultrudedSpine: 6mm pultrudedLower spreader: Skyshark 5pt black diamond Sail: Icarex and Mylar with Icarex pinstripes. LE is Dacron. APA fittings with RSky Center-T. Nose is Bisonyl.And yes, that is polyester florescent yellow contrasting thread!It has the Derefat feel that some of his other designs have. Very tricky, great jacobs ladders and super pitchy. This kite is a real looker. The only build flaw is that my machine dropped the pointed-part of three stitches in two of the pinstripes--only noticeable if you look for them. Look hard in the last picture.No holes, tears, or any heavy wear; the kite is over all in really good shape. I have been home building like crazy and have more kites than I can fly.Asking $190 plus shipping (keep in mind the one piece LEs may make shipping a few dollars more than normal--not sure about this though).Please don't hesitate to ask questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart McCullough Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks, it really is a looker, and a great flier. I have fallen in love with something else that I "Must Have" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart McCullough Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I forgot to add, for those new to dual line tricking, the frame on this kite is very resilient to abuse, yet still very tricky.Very good for learning tricks. Its a medium sized kite, so the reduced stiffness of the 6mm isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just wondering, I'm not up on the Monster... is it a full sized kite ? I'm counting the boards in your deck to estimate size, but can't tell if they're 4" or 6" boards... I do love the looks of the kite, the choices in colors & even the thread are spectacular !

Stuart McCullough Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 It's a 2.3m (91") kite. About 36" tall with about a 32" long spine. I'm guessing Christian named it because its more of a trick monster rather than monster in regards to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 oooh... I want it. If it's not spoken for soon, I will have to have it. Not like I need more kies, but there's always room in the bag for a looker like that ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
