arc 840
Anyone interested in an arc 840 with a huge blow out in it? I personally think it is beyond repair but others may disagree. Not sure if there are
any useful parts, the spars are intact although I haven't pulled them out to inspect them. Other than that I think it would be usable if you need
some old, bright green kite fabric. I will give it to anyone that will pay the shipping from USA zip code 49653. With spars it might be $20-$30
without should be much cheaper. If anyone is interested let me know.

I looked at the spars and 1 might be original, the other is an original Spalding golf club shaft, but it does the job. I have some pics that I can
email but can't figure out how to upload yet. Did I mention it is free.

There's a guy on here from the Boston area I believe. He is always looking for kite fabric to make single liners. I will try and find the thread.

Thanks guys!
bigbenmi -I'm definitley interested but would give anybody 'right of way' who would like to fix the kite to fly it. I would cut it in pieces and make
single line kites out of it. Please let me know if the kite is still available.

Well I sent pics to one interested person and haven't heard back yet. I think I will give it a full week and if no one is interested it will go to
jokiter. While I would love for it to get fixed, I can't imagine that it would be very easy and it seems like making new kites might be the best use
of this old kite.

Finally fixed
It has been on the back of my mind to get it fixed and
I finally found time to do it.
It is not a best looking repair, but it should be solid, inside and outside taped and sawn, with internal damage reinforced.
New spar pockets with velcro closures and 1/2"OD aluminum spars.
Cannot wait to try it out.
