Flexi Sabre II 9.5m RTF, will trade for LEI/ right sized arc

dandre - 19-3-2012 at 10:21 AM

After much deliberation I am moving to water.
I'm willing to accept trades/ work somethin' out for post 2006/2007 LEIs or maybe a venom?

You know you want to throw and go....

what are its flight characteristics

dandre - 19-3-2012 at 10:37 AM

grunty with lots of power.
lift is middle of the road. Any time I've been lofted it was never over 6-10ft in hass conditions.
It's slower than newer models but that can be said of any kite
It's wind range is 8mph cruisin to like... 25 top end?

shortlineflyer - 19-3-2012 at 11:22 AM

does it have any float

B-Roc - 19-3-2012 at 11:31 AM

Youtube the videos of Mark Barry snowkiting with it and that should answer your questions on lift and float.

i am interested but i dont have the money right now, I am in college right now would you consider selling it for less

dandre - 19-3-2012 at 01:39 PM

I'm willing to negotiate but not by that much, I've already priced this kite as a screaming deal for a newbie to depower.

thanson2001ok - 19-3-2012 at 02:23 PM

This is an excellent price for a very good depower kite! You can't go wrong.

RTF, more than a screaming deal.

The ASPCA has reported dogs in surrounding counties going deaf. :o

SO tempted!!! How is this wing for speed?

tridude - 19-3-2012 at 03:09 PM

I flew Angus' demo 7 or 7.5 Sabre II using an ATB a few yrs back and it was awesome..................stable, with a lot of grunt........lift is there but as with all top end depowers, easily controlled or negated.....reminds me of the 10m Pulse and 9.5 Montana 3 which are a stellar kits....................the whole kit to include the bag is top drawer....................:thumbup:

dandre - 19-3-2012 at 03:59 PM

yah I should mention the bag is seexxy.
It reminds me of prada (sp?) for kiters.

The design is bulletproof and second to none in terms accessory carrying capacity. (pockets/ ATB/ skis)

The sabre 2 is a SUPER stable kite. I've never had a serious accident with it; or fallen hard for that matter :lol:
If you adjust the pigtails on the bridals it can be AGRESSIVE, I always kept it on beginner status cause I'm a newbie.
But I played with it adjusted one time between storms during hurricane season, WHOOOOEEEE


Won't do that again lol

shortlineflyer - 19-3-2012 at 04:11 PM

do you want to sell it soon or would you be willing to wait for me to get the funds

go for it Scott you wont be disappointed.................:thumbup:

mougl - 19-3-2012 at 04:23 PM

I'm thinking about it but speed is what I need. If its comparable to the pulse or M3, I'm not so sure it will perform the way I like personally. No doubt a sick deal!

kiteyakker - 19-3-2012 at 08:06 PM

Does this kite have a front line safety like an Ozone or HQ foil kite? do you have any pics?

dandre - 19-3-2012 at 08:53 PM

yeah, quick release QL.
I'll post pics tom.

Flexi is comparable to ozone, not quite as aggressive but still in the running in its time.
