19m Fuel / 16m Rhino..... New buggy fund!!!! Price reduced

djsiryn - 7-9-2015 at 04:58 PM

I am DESPERATELY trying to fund a buggy purchase so I'm putting my 2006 19m Fuel and my 2007 16m Rhino up for sale. Both kites are in good shape with the exception of a few small pinholes that have all been repaired with Tearaid tape. The Fuel though does have an issue with the middle struts that seem to be leaking. I have tested the leading edge and the struts and they hold air but after a short flight they leak. I think it's the hoses because the bladders hold air until I hook the hoses up. The rhino is ready to go! The Rhino is also a fifth line kite and I do not have bars for it anymore and do not fly it enough to warrant me getting some bars. Both kites have been great but I am switching over to foils and arcs and don't get any use out of these anymore. The Fuel does not have the original bag but I will include a Best large bag for it. The Rhino does have the original bag and manual with it. I put up a bunch of pics to better help judge the condition of these kites. Please somebody help me achieve my buggy dreams! Shipping will be about $40 to $45 for each kite. Thanks!!!
$150 obo for the Fuel + shipping
$180 for the Rhino + shipping

Somebody buy this beauty! She needs the bucks and these big LEIs are just not going to be ideal buggy engines (too much lift).

Both of those kites send chills up my spine...Each for very different reasons. :). Good luck with the buggy hunt!

LOL! Both are ridiculously powerful. Why the chills? :dunno: I'm hoping to get my buggy on by at least the end of the year. :D

I would suggest you post these kites on some more water related kite forums. These kites will have more appeal to somebody hitting the water.
As you know a large portion of folks on here ride on land. Kind of scary kite for land riding?

Keep saving for that buggy! I have a strong feeling you will love it!

The large fuels make deadman turns easy. 'C' kites like the fuel are the most fun LEI in a buggy. Not great for out right speed but for looping and powerslides they can't be beat. Maybe you should keep them.

Price dropped. 150 for the Fuel and 180 for the Rhino.
Video I put up of the fuel in light wind action for my Ebay auction.
