Small find!

Well, I didn't think I'd ever own one due to how seldom they come up for sale and how much they usually go for, but I scored a 6m Phantom from UK. It looks like it's been flown 4-5 times and didn't get dirty. All the zips work too, even on the bag. I'm sure I've just guaranteed myself light winds for the next several IBX events.

I'm not familiar with the kite but was extremely gladdened to hear about "next several IBX events". I've been worried that your move back East was going to put a stop to those for you.

"Those days" on Ivanpah can be beyond wild as we experienced earlier this year. Maybe just a tad short of those gales and we'll all be out with our tiniest kites. :D

Don't worry! The event is certainly bigger than just me. Permit goes in this week for 2018.

It most certainly is! You miss my point however Bob. I was specifically referring to my worry that YOU weren't going to show up. :saint:

Great snag Bobby I was just talking about the 6m yesterday. Great kite when you need it!

Nice! Looking forward to see it moving down the playa!
