Thought I'd share the method that locked me in on the elusive (to me) T3 11m.
As most of you know I've been looking pretty diligently for about 2 weeks now. Last night while trying to get more info on other models I found myself
in a Google image search. I noticed a lot of the image results were from "for sale" posts on various sites (Kijiji, Craigslist, kite forums etc.). A
lot of the posts were inactive or removed but not all. It occurred to me that it might be worth trying a T3 image search and wouldn't you know it? I
found a year old for-sale ad from a shop in Florida. I emailed them on a long-shot and they still had the kite!
As a bonus I was able to see the ad was REALLY old so when he got back to me saying he still had it I got it for a VERY good price!

Great colors, too! I was about to say you should not pass up that Key10 that's on that other forum...that's an insane deal on something very close to
what you were looking for.

Nice method 
For future reference, Portland is also littered with slingshot. I
find they just laying on the street corner sometimes... so check portland.cl and nwkite, sure to find some. Most ppl are flying RPM's so the turbo
and touches are there, but becoming less common to find.

Slingshot is based out of Hood River aren't they? I shoulda thought to ask you if you'd seen any left at bus stops or coffee shops ; )
I figured for sure it'd be long gone. If I'd put gear up for sale with a kite shop and it hadn't moved in 3 months (let alone over a year) I'd have
found other means to sell it. Thank goodness this dude didn't.
Too bad you can't "Pay & Print" kites....the wind is perfect for a first flight today.......
