2013 twister 4m rtf (no longer for sale)

HQ Toxic 8m rtf $300 plus shipping SOLD

Excellent kites, but I'm looking to fund some single skin kites. Let me know if you have a npw or ns2 that you would like to trade. Pictures to follow.

Thanks

Whaaaaa?

That escalated quickly.

ssayre - 28-7-2014 at 04:34 PM

Yeah I know. I didn't even give it a chance because I haven't had the right wind yet for the buggy. That's part of the reason. I've had enough wind to fly static but not enough for the buggy or too much wind. I would never sell a kite if I could help it but I've researched the nasa kites and feel like they might help out a lot in my local conditions. The wife needs a new car and the kids need shoes, so I can't keep everything.

This would be a good start to a buggy/landboard quiver if your past the 3 meter stage and looking to get into buggy or landboard.

Hmm, maybe too expensive? 300 for the toxic. I'm only selling the toxic so quickly after purchasing it because I realized I just don't have much time to kite in the summer with my job so I'm planning ahead for the better fall winds. The toxic flies in almost no winds and starts producing usable power in 7mph. That's a steal for that much power.

I flew it a ton this past winter. It is such a stable kite in stronger winds too. I've flown it up to 18-20 mph and felt overpowered but safe. And yes it moves you in very light stuff too. Ssayre means 7mph on grass. Its more like 5mph on hard pack sand. It is not lofty but does float you nicely when you send it for a jump.

Twister no longer available. I've decided to hang onto it for now.

soliver - 12-8-2014 at 04:16 PM

When do you expect to get your NS2's?

ssayre - 12-8-2014 at 04:21 PM

I don't know. I ordered them on the 1st of august and they said due to demand that they would not ship for 7 business days. That is up today, so I assume they will ship soon but I don't know how long it will take to get here. I hope soon. I've bought, used, got tired of, and sold kites quicker than it's taking just to get these. :D

soliver - 12-8-2014 at 04:24 PM

I assume they have to come from over the pond and go through customs etc.?

ssayre - 12-8-2014 at 04:33 PM

I've got a renewed interest in reactors now as well since I discovered the asphalt. On a smooth surface like that and with clean enough wind, I think I could hit high 30's low 40's with the reactor. It's so smooth.

soliver - 12-8-2014 at 05:29 PM

I'm amazed at how the Reactors handle the jank.... Get some!

3shot - 12-8-2014 at 05:56 PM

Curious how the newest Reactors handle the janky? I just never could get used to the front line bias of the R II 6.9. Open stretches no problem, but my smallish field with tight back and forth runs I struggled. Downturns wasn't always doable. When I really needed brake turns, I crashed and burned more than not. I'm sure it was 99% OE. Still curious about the new Reactors..

Proletariat - 12-8-2014 at 06:57 PM

You realize, of course, that Flysurfer now makes a single skin kite, right? Wicked gust eating, huge range kite...


ssayre - 12-8-2014 at 07:24 PM

Yes, it's on my wish list.

3shot - 12-8-2014 at 07:34 PM

Same here. That black and hot pink is killer!! Freestyle and cruising.

soliver - 12-8-2014 at 08:39 PM

Dittos all around... If only I could afford one...

Jason, the front line bias is just something that takes a little getting used to. I still add a touch of the brake to get it to turn faster, just not as much as my other kites. Plus I do notice that I do a lot more anticipating with them (ESP the big ones), but still get them humming in the small fields. And I'm pretty sure the R2013 are just minor refinements and color/design upgrades... I do hear they are even better on the low end than the RIIs though. I'm just amazed at how they handle the Janky wind with as high as their AR is. When I flew that new to me 3.5m, the wind was constantly shifting almost 180 degrees and though it was not easy, it still stayed airborne, stable and pulling ... I did not experience that with the 3m Toxic.

I do like a reactor, but am intrigued at the NPW's
