jojo rs 5m wanted

ColinW - 3-11-2018 at 01:47 PM

I've managed to wear out the leading edge of my absolute favourite kite; my beloved jojo RS 5m.
I have looked in to having it fixed, but with 20 plus cell seams to reinforce the cost is prohibitive.
So...
Does anyone have the above mentioned kite sitting in the garage or basement that they would be willing to part with? Or do you know of the location of one? I would consider other models and sizes of jojos as well, but the rs5 if is a perfect fit for my riding style and skill level.

PLEASE!

Perhaps you might check FB. I see them come up frequently. They are across the pond however.

Thanks Mr. Cheesy.
I have seen some of those European jojos.
Big John Blitzhound was good enough to alert me about a 12m RM this summer. I did a little research and it seemed that postage was more than the kite price, not that that is a deal breaker. The 12m seller insisted that he could get the kite to me for a fraction of what i could figure out on line... I am still contemplating the transcontinental deal.
But that is not my beloved 5m jojo rs:smilegrin:

Also consider the RM or RM+ models Jojo makes. They are fairly similar, if you can't find RS model..... I've flown all three.

Thanks for the heads up ski.
I'll widen the search.

I am on this fb group already thank you. I should perhaps post a wanted ad there.
I have a 6.5 rs in great shape as well as the dying 5m, so I am looking for some smaller stuff.
I have been thinking about pulling the trigger on a BIG rm+ out of Holland. I checked on shipping and it seemed to be more than the kite. The owner suggested he could post for 20 or 25 euros tho so I might try it. It is tough to know what you will be charged in duty, fees, and brokerage after the package gets in country.
Seems like it would be worth it to fly over and bring a whole bunch of stuff back. How many Chameleon buggies can one fit in a suitcase?
