reactor II for sale

bobsalinas - 1-12-2013 at 12:15 PM

this is a 5.5 reactor II I got from Beamer Bob a few years back.
Not sure of the age but its in great shape RTF $325.00
Reason for selling is that I am switching over to de-power kite quiver.

I bought those in 2009 late in the fall IIRC. That 5.5 was tuned by the designer himself. Michel Decker from PL. He started taking the bridles apart and I asked some question about him doing this before. He responded with something that started with "when I designed this kite". There is a picture somewhere of me watching him in total confidence after that. I only sold this kite because I never need a kite that big at Ivanpah.

yes, I was there and saw him doing his bridle wizardry, thanks for adding that info.
The only thing I modified on this kite was to make the brake lines a little longer.

Hi Bob: sent you a U2U last weekend and haven't heard back from you yet (doesn't look like you've read it yet?). Would like to know if you still have this Reactor.

Bob has been in hospital just released. He still has kite just give him few days to catch up. I'm sure he will respond.

save some kites for the rest of us kskiteaddict.

@KAZEDOKA: I guessed maybe out of town on business, so really sorry to hear he was in hospital. Whenever he is up to repsonding will be fine. Thanks for updating me.

@ssayre: Better advice than you may even realize. Would help my bank account balance go in the right direction if I could just act on that. Seriously though, if you have a desire for Bob's Reactor or have been thinking about it, I will gladly hold off on pursuing it. Would be a great fit between your Twister and Blade in your listed quiver.

KsKiteAddict, are you growing a collection of 5m kites? :lol:

BeamerBob - 10-1-2014 at 07:12 PM

I'm sorry. You have to be named "Bob" to buy this kite. :D

nah, I'm not pursuing it now, I bought a buggy and a kite within the last month. I going to force myself not to buy anything for at least another month.

I've been looking for a Reactor. But I need a bit larger, 6,7,or 8m.
Still a great kite with a good story and a family history.
Wish it fit my quiver.

Kskitaddict.bob will u2u later today about details. I will probably have to take pack and ship for him.

Davis,... you had plenty of opportunity to grab hold of my 8.6m in Nov... You should've given it a go!!!
