The elusive and often talked about F-ARC

Ok PKF users. Are you wanting the ultimate depowerable performance machine ever built? :singing:


Ok, maybe that is a little bit much, but for those who have flown one of these bad-boys they may argue the truth in that statement. Anyways, I was able to work out a deal with Peter Lynn NZ and have sitting in my office a box full of BRAND NEW never been used before F-Arc 1200 and F-Arc 1600 kites! These will be forsale on a first come-first serve basis. These kites come with Kite, Pigtails, Wing Tip Spars and saussage style stuff bags.

Lines and control bar system are not included.

But how much you ask?? Well, that's the killer deal! I can ship you one of these awesome F1200's for only $235.00 or if you have the gonads, you can get yourself a F1600 for $245.00. AND I WILL INCLUDE FREE GROUND SHIPPING TO ALL U.S. ADDRESSES.

E-mail works best as I don't always remember to check my PM's. Just shoot me an e-mail with what you want and we'll work out the details. We accept all major credit cards as well as Paypal.

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions just post them up below or contact me via e-mail.

Still have a few of these left for anyone wanting to pick one or two up. Just let me know.

Is this a good starter arc or one better suited for the experienced arc pilot?

Just curios

This kite is definately for an experience arc flier. I'd say you should have a bit of rideing with an arc before you try this beast. You could get some and stash them away till you are ready fo them, as they are amazing kites and are hard to find, especialy new like this. Check ot this link. It has everything you need to know about the f-arc.

How does FB experience translate to an arc,... I've got loads of FB experience, and am thinking my next kite might be and arc,... I like the price but can't buy now,... Mostly just curious.

I'd say it transfers well. Just don't start with a f-arc, scopion, or charger.

I agree with Snake. I think for flying, FB -> Arc is easier than FB -> LEI. However, I will say that setting up an Arc takes a bit of thought and methodical preparation. It gets better after that first time. That first time, I thought I was trying to launch a mobius strip.

awindofchange - 5-3-2013 at 11:15 PM

I agree with everything above, the F-arc is not a kite that I would suggest for a beginner. It is an awesome machine but it can be pretty wicked when it wants to and without ARC experience, it could start to get a little dangerous. They do require some tuning and some skills to get the most out of them but get them tuned in its all "hang on and huge grins". The F-arc still holds the record for the fastest depower kite.

i've had a real fun time learning about arcs with the 15m Charger, but maybe my idea of fun isn't to be recommended. i dunno though-it's the only arc i've ever flown.

Never mind.

Kent,

Do you have any of these bad boys left?

ratindahat - 15-5-2013 at 03:31 PM

I am curious as well.
