Anyone want some Fuels? I found some for really cheep with a board, 2 bars, a harness, and a pump. If I bought them I would keep everything but the
kites. I'm not sure what year but the seller says 2 are new and 1 is in like new condition. Is anyone interested in them? Before I take the plunge and
buy them I need to be pretty sure I can unload them so I'm not stuck 3 kites I don't have the skill to fly.thanson2001ok - 30-11-2012 at 05:22 PM
I am not an LEI guy but you definitely want to lnow what model year these are. I imagine new, in this case,means unused, not 2012 model year.van - 30-11-2012 at 06:38 PM
If they are cheap , they are the older fuels. The older fuels are going for about $50 per kite. Even if they are the newer fuels, it would be hard
for you to sell them since they are still high performance C kites with very little depower. I don't know anyone locally that still use them.flyhighWNY - 30-11-2012 at 06:46 PM

you absolutely must find out year. if it's before 2008, do NOT buy at any price. No matter what the FUEL series from Slingshot are very high
performance C-kites with not much depower. They are amazing kites, but small windrange.
new(after 2009) fuels have a better windrange and less "pure" C-kite feel. All of the people I know who rode fuels have moved to the Slingshot RPM.van - 30-11-2012 at 07:26 PM

That's pretty much what happened here in the Houston area. I'm one of the few that is still flying Waroos and Arcs on the water. Everyone is on
RPM's now. I sold all my Fuels awhile back and got the Waroos since the Fuels were too dangerous for me.Snake - 30-11-2012 at 07:26 PM
How much would you say all the other stuff is worth? All of it is in like great condition.
Edit: I just found out they are probably 05.martinipro - 30-11-2012 at 07:34 PM
Keep in mind that Bars have come a long way as well. Older bars do not have good safety features.stetson05 - 30-11-2012 at 07:43 PM
Kites are probably good for having spare ripstop around. Might make nice hamocks or nasa wings. You might see if kiteboarding.com is still accepting
old kites toward a purchase of a new one. Sometimes they give up to $300 credit. That might be over though.
Bars, the bar might be ok. would be great if you want to put a small fb kite on a bar. a plain bar, airush 65cm bar was selling on ebay for a long
time for $20. Most of the components are 7 years old so I wouldn't pay too much for them.
I bought a well cared for c kite on here a couple of years ago for $75. It made a really nice hammock.
