I might be picking up a 3.8m Libre Speedy II, I fly depower kites exclusively and have never flown a FB kite, I looked for info, reviews on this kite
but it seems to have been out of production for a while, from what I can gather circa 2006. What should one be looking to pay for such a kite?
windrange? stable? lifty? bottom end? good beggining FB? etc. Thanks

Why the interest in a 7 year old design? Race kites have come a long way since then.

Actually I dont have any interest in a race kite, I'm looking for more beginer friendly first FB kite to start and this one crossed my path.

I know of a few that have them and they are typically the type of riders that prefer to have a stable (beginner), well built kite that they don't have
to pay a lot of attention to, but to just put up in the sky and have fun with. They do tend to hold up quite well and as long as it hasn't been
abused, should still have plenty of life in it.

Excellent Jim, thanks for that do you have any clue as for a reasonable price for a good, clean, almost new example with handles and lines?

this is all I have on the 3.8m Speedy II,
For pilots who are new to the wonderful sport of kitesailing, this is a perfect beginner’s kite; it is forgiving and really easy to fly. It also has
enough performance to allow you to have fun as you advance.
The high quality sail and sewn dyneema bridles are designed for a long life.
New with handles and lines the kite was RTF, for $345.00.
