After much consideration, I've decided to let my arcs go. For NO other reason than they do not get the attention they need. So lets keep it a "for
sale" thread please. I am no arc guru, but I've described these kites and equipment to the best of my ability. No surprises. Paypal or postal money
order accepted. Buyer pays USPS shipping. I may cut a deal if you wanted the whole package too !!
Venom II 16m: SOLD.
This kite is as new as you will ever find one. It has only been flown ONCE by me for maybe 20 minutes! This was Goofball's (who never flew it) then
Stephdip's (who never flew it either). I was the first one to take it out of the bag!!! Bag is in excellent condition as well. PL aluminum knock down
spars are too. Again, only flown once its whole life. As new crispy!
I'd like to put the Griffin bar with this kite. The bar and lines has been used on a few other kites but are still is in great shape. It has the Peter
Lynn swivel chicken loop. To me, it closely resembles a Navigator with the low split Y power lines. $450.00 + shipping.
Venom II 13m: Decided to keep this girl
This kite is in great condition. I bought this from ssayre, who got it from flyguy0101. Its used, but still quite crispy. Zippers work great. There
are two spots that have had a small piece of rip-stop tape applied. One is the size of a dime one the bottom edge by the spar pocket, and the other is
on the back. That one is piece of rip-stop tape about 2"x3". Very hard to see. I had to re-find it again just to take a pic. LOL. These take zero
effect on the kite. I'd like to include a custom bar (by markite). Its a Peter Lynn bar with an Ocean Rodeo chicken loop. This bar has been modded
with a longer throw. It also has the trim strap below the bar because of the added throw length. Great for the buggy or board with the trim right at
your waist having the longer throw. This bar and lines do have some wear, but still have life left in them IMHO. The bag is a little faded on the
front. PL aluminum knock down spars are great shape too. $350.00 + shipping.
Scorpion 10m: acquired
This kite is in good condition. Good, not great or excellent. Still has a lot of life in it. About half crispy I'd say. I bought this from
Kiteballoon. This is kite only with bag, and new Angus spars. Zippers work great. There are 2 or 3 dime size rip-stop tape patches on the leading
edge. Very hard to see. There is also a small patched, and sewn repair by the center deflate zipper. A couple loose strings from the repair that can
be easily be tidy up. It was on my list to do so, just never got to it. Not quite as airtight overall, but that's from age. Just need to get it up in
the air little faster. It still flies great and stays puffy when in motion. I'm not picking this kite apart. Just want to make sure all imperfections
are documented. No surprises! Again, this kite still has many many more flights left in it. $200.00 + shipping.

Holy crap, I've never wanted an old kite back so bad. I loved the 13 meter but Jason wanted it and I wanted try some different kites. Super
fantastic kite from 10 to high teens. I know some use it in much higher wind but I didn't try it. I'm fairly tempted to own it again.
Did you clean it again? It looks even better than I remember.

No cleaning Sean.

*sniff sniff... Do I smell NS3s?
3shot - 8-3-2015 at 04:44 PM
No NS3 Spencer LOL. The 2's are keeping me quite happy at the moment
My Flows and NS2 are still the bread winners!! I thought the arcs would work for my local conditions. Though I've not nearly spent enough time with
them, I really need to use them more than once or twice a year at a buggy event. My jank is truly some ruff sh#t!!! I always result in pulling out a
Flow or Nasa.

I'd also consider Kite only pricing for those who prefer their own bar set-ups!
kiteballoon - 12-3-2015 at 06:30 PM
Gimme that fan!
Sorry you have to let the arcs go but this is a great collection for someone to enjoy! These kites are fun to fly.

Thanks for the plug kiteballoon!
I don't "have" to sell them. I've had them almost a year now, and have barely flew them a couple times in my soccer fields. I really do have some
sh#tty inland wind. Quite frustrating actually. If they don't sell, I'll give them a real try at JIBE. May even decide to keep them after that. Who
knows. I figured they would have been used more by now actually.

16m sold!

Sales over. The Scorpion 10m and Venom II 16m are gone.
The 13m is going to JIBE with me.
Thanks again for the inquires.
flyguy0101 - 19-3-2015 at 06:10 AM
Smart choose on keeping the 13m- its an awesome kite and if after jibe you change your mind- I might just buy it back:D
Demoknight - 19-3-2015 at 07:16 AM
Yeah, JIBE needs more arcs. Not nearly enough arcs last year. Only me, Mark, Scott's son, and Angus flying them last year if I remember correctly.
3shot - 19-3-2015 at 08:53 AM
IDK Scott. Andrew might not like me infringing on his color scheme.
Besides, there aren't nearly enough OBEs. I figured I could provide some great video opportunities at the school of hard knocks while I hone my deadly
arc skills....
Demoknight - 19-3-2015 at 08:59 AM
Lol, as long as the kite is over your head when you OBE and not behind you, it will probably just set you down on your feet after floating you down
wind for a bit. Most of mine are something along those lines.
ssayre - 19-3-2015 at 12:49 PM
glad you decided to keep one for jibe to roll with the other arcologists
3shot - 19-3-2015 at 03:34 PM
I can tell you I wont be busting 30 mph like those guys. At least not on purpose :o
