i got a red reactor II 2.8m NEW sitting here. Make you a good price on it if you get rid of your Viper S. Both are great kites.

Hey Renny, this is an AWESOME kite, trust me, you won't regret buying it at all... I love mine and only wish I had the wind to use it more frequently. (You won't miss the Peter Lynn stake, it's a piece).

Bruce, if you want a Reactor, I've got a couple for sale :smilegrin:

Another thought is that the viper would be a great kite for the size you are looking at. The Reactor is a little more high performance, but do you really want that extra punch when the winds are over 25?

Bruce, I'm confused, did you think you were literally buying a reactor or did you just think the viper s would be similar to one? I've never flown a reactor to compare it to, but I thought that particular size of viper s was about the best balance of performance and stability of any fb I've flown. It was and still is my favorite kite I have ever flown static as well. 3m beamers and hornets usually sell for 150-175, so 200 including shipping on a much higher performance kite that is hard to find was (and still is) not out of line in my opinion.

Now stop referring to me like I was some sort of shady used car salesman :D

You were not a shady carsalesman...lol....I was actually saying that I got a great deal on the blade so this didn't bother me at all (price was fair)....I guess my last couple kite purchases have been so good that this just seemed higher...all good..

I was so excited because I had been talking to Flyguy0101 earlier that week about getting a reactor that when I saw your kite I just bought it. When I told him thinking I really scored (200 for a reactor) he stated....you do know that was a viper and not a reactor.. I was like...crap...

Still going to be a great little kite. Scott and I just agree that the Rages do the job with less lift for our flying conditions, so I am going to try to acquire them instead of the PL.

I'm sure this will suit me fine and before I sell this at a huge loss I would just keep it. If I could buy/trade and be pretty close in a lateral move for a rage in the same size I would do so....

I don't want to rub any salt into a wound but I love that blade you sold me and had such a great time flying it this year in WW....not that it's important but the color is one of my favorites...She will be well used and loved...

Have a great day...

Keeping the kite.....If there is a way to remove this post, I would appreciate it....Thanks. This kite will be available at WildWood along with some others as I build the flexifoil quiver up and switch out.... much nicer dealing with people in person...
