Chuck Lohre Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I all. I'm new to this group but an avid kite flyer. Nowadays I'm more likely to be flying my full scale glider. I purchased a "Incunabula Wright Brothers 1899 Kite" years ago at some museum and just haven't had the time to build it. Please let me know if you are interested. I also have a Flyer Kite and will post after I find it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Saw one on display at the Smithsonian, it's kind of like the original quad line kite ('cept the handles are upside down - top and bottom reversed from handle to kite). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Nope, different animal - he's got a replica, that's just a mass production kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmond Dragut Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hello,I will like that novelty,what is your price ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Lohre Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi All, I think I paid about $80 for the model. Please make an offer. Shipping would be extra. Thanks for your interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasek Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm kind of amused reading your post Chuck. I am not meaning to be a jerk, however you have something for sale and don't name a price. I am not saying the following is your intent at all, but some people don't post a price so they can get different people to essentially bid like an auction. People that do that should just put their stuff on an auction site. Again, I mean no malice or disrespect in the above. They are just opinions/observations. That kite is pretty cool. Since you are taking offers, I'll offer $65 + $15 shipping to Fla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
