Do a heavy search of the for sale section. I swear someone was selling a bunch of skytigers a few months ago. Not more than 6. The title didn't make
it clear what kites he was selling, if I remembe?

Hey Dirtslide,
I contacted the individual that has the other HI60 you asked about and he wants to keep his like I do.
Sorry we couldn't make a deal for you.

I have a 56 ft2 Sky Tiger I'd be happy to part with. It has a tear on the bottom skin that has gone unfixed for years but is otherwise in good shape.
The fabric still has some of the crispy crinkle to it.
The foil portion of the kite measures 4.28m x 1.22m laid flat. Flaps on the wing tips and trailing edge extend beyond that. That makes it 5.2m2 or
56 ft2. The aspect ration is 3.5. I'm pretty sure that was "high" back in the day this was built. So is this a HI60?
I bought this kite used a loooong time ago so I'm a little fuzzy on what it really is.
I'll sell it RTF for any reasonable offer. It would ship from 32605. Pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbchase/sets/72157624958921630/

I'll have to roll mine out and measure it. Yours sure looks like a HI60.
Morrie Williams - 15-9-2010 at 08:38 AM
I just measued my HI60 and our measurements are close enough for your kite to be a HI60.

How about a Hi 100?
ripsessionkites - 15-9-2010 at 09:23 PM
We have two HI 100 here in BC too. One with a modded cut flaps.
