Thanks BigKid!
Basically the New Tech is a great entry level foil for those who need something for higher winds but don't feel like getting spanked while they're out
in the buggy.
This specific New Tech doesn't scream 'crispy' but it is in good shape overall and a good deal, especially with lines and handles in, at this price.

I agree, while New Tech may not be top of the top when it comes to kite companies it is a decent beginner kite. Well behaved . RTF makes it a very
good deal. Lines and handles alone cost that much. Almost like a free kite for the price of lines and handles.
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.
Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

The Ballistic when new was sold for 399.00. A few went for less when New Tech decided to drop the kite and replace it with the Thunderfoil.
I have one that came with a bar and handles. One of the 2 liners with the wrist strap brake setups, was one of the kites I learned to board with. By
the way, Airin is selling this at a killer price.
And those kites did not have a crinkly finish (like others) on them when they were new. I have a can of sealer for kites if you want it to be
crinkly.
Appex buggy, Libre hardcore buggies.
Flexboardz. Blokarts.
PKD Century Soulflys. NPW's. Nasa Stars.
A few other less flown oddballs,
Line sets from 10" to 328" or 2m to 100m.
worlds only AQR that works.
North American distributor for PKD.

The New Tech Ballistic is a great entry kite. I do believe airin picked this kite up from me a couple of years ago. This kite is loads of fun on low
wind days. Will fly in next to nothing, which can be fun when fly a 4.9m wing like you would a really sllloowww rev!

You have a good memory, Sean, this is indeed the kite I got from you.
I like your description of flying it like a rev, very apt!

Usually up the gorge. We aren't coming back until the 8th though. I thought about offering but I didn't know how well it would work out. You
probably don't want to drive this way on your way to the coast either. We can work something out if you want to though.
