Remember that well loved Phantom that Phree had?

I wonder if it's still around and if the life's been flown out of it. I'm looking for a bagged out Phantom (preferably crashed, not stretched). No rush - it's a long term plan. Some of you might be able to figure out what I'm getting up to...the rest will have to come find me on the sewing forums to figure it out. :ninja:

If you have an old Venom or Phantom that's "done" let me know.

I think Go0fba11 ended up with that one in a bulk trade/purchase. Not sure if he still has it.

what design are you sewing into it
family guy
calvin and hobbes

I am thinking of doing that with my HQ scout 5m and futurama

Don't know - have a load to learn before I start committing but I'll be sure to make sure each and every step is done as tribute to the path laid by Kieron. Tell you this much......it ain't the cheap way to get into kiting that's for sure. You can get a flying rig used for far less than it's gonna cost to make regardless of donor kite cost/no cost. Not to mention the time investment. I'm certain it'll be worth it though.

Ive made kites before and almost always like those more than the ones I buy

Pokitetrash has a 15m phantom for sale w/bar on the for sale forum next door,... I think he want $475.

Yeah but Pokites is in great shape. Not a real project kite.

macboy - 4-6-2012 at 05:31 PM

Yeah....it'd be a sin to cut that apart........of course Kieron did it to a completely unflown Manta but I'd have trouble not thinking I was slicing up a few $100 bills :lol:

I realized the other day what my graphic will be.
Watch men title and bloody smite face on the back and the caracters on the front
It will be epic

\I just have to decide what kite to do it with now

macboy - 5-7-2012 at 07:50 PM

Fingers crossed......things in the works.
