3m or 4m Beamer V, Sting or Hornet 2

Gotta replace my Beamer III 3m, but want a bit of an upgrade. I'd love a deal on either used or new. I'm just looking for a kite in good shape that we can fly for a long time. KO or RTF. Either is fine. Could possibly discuss trades.

Thanks!

What about the Buster Soulfly, or Zebra's Z1, only to speak of a few that are just as good if not better and less expensive to boot?
The Buster comes with more stuff than any of the others, and can be handles or bar.

Interesting. I have seen the name (buster soulfly) all over the place, but I know nothing at all about those kites. I'll look into both.

Thanks for the tip.

Hornet 2 is a great kite. We have a demo, I will shoot you a price.

Do it! I somehow missed your site in my cursory scour of the Internets!! I'm actually leaning towards the Hornet 2. Wanna make my lady friend happy.

Thanks, everyone. I ended up going with a really nice deal on a Peter Lynn Core 3.0m RTF from coastal wind sports. I think I got their last one, and my wife was kinda adamant that we go with a 3m, so it worked out nicely. They had them heavily discounted since they've been discontinued. This'll be my first PL. The new nylon should be here on Tuesday and I am very excited!
