21 meter Flysurfer SPEED 3 with Infinity 2 bar and lines for sale.
See pictures above and more on my Photobucket page.
KITE DOES NOT FLY RIGHT! Hesitates to go to 12 o'clock and backstalls. This may be a bridle problem.
I suggest that only a person experienced with foil kites and bridles buys this.
Purchased recently for $850 from Australia. This kite needs work. Selling now for $400 plus $30 shipping.
U2U me if you have questions.
Thanks.

Have you done a mixer test on this kite? Big kite like that likely has stretched lines?
It isn't hard to do if you follow the youtube video.

Thank you for the input. I flew it yesterday. I followed your advice and did the mixer test. I didn't see anything wrong with bridles. Had to pull on
the center lines to make it fly to 12 o'clock. It flies okay, but does not pull as it should.
The pictures are of the actual kite in flight. This kite needs adjustment and would make an excellent project kite for someone who knows what they are
doing.
That said, selling it cheaply as a project kite.

Interested and have question

Thank you for interest and questions.
The kite material itself is not crispy. It is also sun faded, as the original bright Flysurfer white is not bright any more.
The Australian seller I purchased it from said he used it for 2 years and it shows the use.
I also noted that the plastic bridle pulleys are worn and need to be replaced.

Tune your lines, replace the SPL, mixer test...
long mixer test, measure bridle lines, tune relative lengths...
Long story short, the bridles have shrunk, Z more than others. So the profile is out of whack, like the bar is in all the time.
You can stretch the bridles and although some people say it's quick and easy, I personal think adding to the pigtails is a better idea...

Thank you for the solid advice, Kamikuza! It flies like you say: like the bar is in all the time. I had to fly it fully depowered to take pictures in
flight.
It is still for sale for $400 plus $30 shipping as a project kite. It is worth taking the time to play with the bridles.

Price reduced to $380. I have no time to tinker with it.

I assume this is long gone?
Serge - 16-5-2020 at 09:39 AM
The kite is still available. Not many people showed interest during the virus lock down.
stetson05 - 16-5-2020 at 10:35 AM
Let me see if Powerzone is still working on kites. I might get this and have you send it to him
