Quiver sale

rdavis - 28-8-2011 at 11:26 AM

Looking to sell off most of my quiver as i've got some "life restructuring" and personal issues to take care of. For now i'll just put a list of what i've got and some asking prices and if anyone is interested or needs more info on a certain kite just reply or PM. Plus shipping on everything. Thanks everyone.



* I just wanted to add, I live on the east coast and I fly at the beach, so you will find some sand with the kites.

Sorry to hear about the "life restructuring".... hope it's all kittens and balloons on the other side.




Gack!!!! I was actually thinking about one of those kites last night. Hope they go fast (perhaps the g00fball/nocando/Kamikuza trifecta... :rolleyes: )

ATB,
Sam

This is not a scary kite. The key to getting used to arcs with this kite is wind selection. If you take it out in 7-12 mph, and its relatively smooth, you would have no trouble at all. Autozenith is in full force with this one. It's not a zippy all over the sky kind of kite so things happen somewhat slowly giving you time to adjust and react. If you want to kick some lift into the equation, you can flick it to zenith quickly and get some boost. Keep things slow and easy and you won't even get light feet.

rdavis, hope the restructure finds you in even greener pastures.

@Snowspider..... Beamerbob is right on with that 19m..... I remember when I was looking at adding the 19m and thought the 19m would be the arse kicker...... it is a gentle giant in the right wind...... I am just learning to fly the arcs and it is usually when I have the 8m or 10m out that I get myself in trouble..... they can be so fast.....

rdavis - 29-8-2011 at 06:24 AM

All U2U's should have been answered.

Everything has been in storage which i'm going to pick up this evening so I can try and start getting some pics taken and get more details on the kites posted. I just wanted to get a post up so I could get the ball rolling.

Marc, Bob, thank you for your concerns, they are appreciated.

Not ready as in I'd like to get a few more years use out of my Apex's befor moving into a lineup of Venoms. I think they are absolutely perfect for the winter flying we do.

What is B17's usable bottom end for a 198lbs rider on a large twin or a surfboard
Mx5alan's calculator shows 8knts, how realistic is it ?
How good is de-power on these?

rdavis - 30-8-2011 at 07:57 AM

Got everything out of storage and got some pics of the Venom and Bomba, though the Bomba is SOLD pending payment at the moment. Anyone who wants pics of the Venom, please let me know. If you already requested some, I will be sending them to you shortly. Will probably be adding some more kites to the list as well, so keep an eye on the this thread. Thank you!

Here's pics and info on the V2, since it seems to be getting the most interest. I bought this a couple years ago from a guy in San Diego. It had 3 pro repairs done while in his possession. While taking the pictures yesterday, I did find a small hole near the trailing edge and two zippers on the bag are stuck. I was gonna try and put a touch of oil on them to see if they free up, but didn't have any handy. One zipper is the one the expands the bottom of the bag (stuck in the open config), the other other is one of the two zippers to close the main compartment. The other zipper works fine though, so that one isn't really a big issue. Comes with the Zero 7 bar and lines (lines are not PL) and brand new aluminum compact sticks. I only flew this kite a handful of times static. It was an impulsive buy when I had the itch to try an arc. I ended up favoring other kites, so this one never saw much use. In my opinion it could use some line extensions, not a necessity but will need to play with the lines settings otherwise. I think i've covered everything, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I will answer to the best of my ability.

THIS IS A KITE ONLY SALE NOW! BAR AND LINES WERE SOLD SEPARATELY!

Rian-

I've had great luck rubbing hydrogen peroxide on frozen zippers. Not sure if salt / saltwater is your issue, but it definitely works well for that.
