"just need the 7.4 and 15.5".... OMG.
you had me going though, I went to the website to check....
quite the price difference between the 3.3 and the 5.0! $149 vs $399. Holy cow!WELDNGOD - 3-1-2009 at 08:26 PM
it's an intro special. It will cost more later on, I'm sure of it. If I can afford one of each size when they first come out ,I'll get em.
I will get the 2.3 next payday!!
ps . look at the size sidebar they really are gonna have a 15.5m!furbowski - 3-1-2009 at 09:14 PM
yes indeed, they do plan to go up to 15.5.... Found that side bar.
Had a look on the forum as well, looks like you're the first anywhere with that thing. Even andya and cust haven't flown them yet it seems like ????
I know what you mean about the cheap pricing: my 5m was one of the $99 ones with the rough first-gen lines. On my first flight with the thing they
stretched about half a foot in half an hour -- it was the weirdest thing -- the lines kept snapping with a sound like a rope loading up an a sailboat
winch, loud clicks every thirty seconds or so along with a barely perceptible bump in the pull of the kite...
you checked your collector knots, eh? ;-)
I won't be buying, though, the next kite's going to be a used but good recent model depower...andya - 4-1-2009 at 06:38 AM

lol, yep your right, not seen the small ones yet.
Pansh have the Race team now so the new Racekites go straight to them, they got the sizes up to 7.4m a few months ago now.
The reports back from the Race team sound good. Over 50mph first time out with the 2.3 with "more to come"WELDNGOD - 9-1-2009 at 08:11 PM
Got it yesterday! A bright blue 3.3m . looks really nice,well built. And 149 dollars! Hard to beat that. Can't wait to try it out. Maybe sunday
