Hasn't been on the forum in a year and a day, but speleopower(<<-- click username to open profile) has one listed in his sigline.

Depending on his user settings a U2U might initiate a notification to his email.

I was wondering about that kite too. Perhaps we are looking at the same ad on ebay.

I googled them and google kept finding Quadifoil Zebras. I get the impression not too many of those kites were made. Anyway, I'm not going to bid on it.

Quadrifoil (when owned by active people) had the C series of race foils then the next generation of kites had the Competition series and the Q series which were sized with names like Q2005, Q2004 (5m, 4m etc) then they had a number with special graphics that were small sizes and the zebra pattern was the Qebra, the music pattern called Quesic ( I may have the spelling off ). Q series very stable kites and good performance overall a moderate aspect ratio so not a race kite but built well etc.

do you know what size it is? Im guessing 3m from the pics I have seen, but the owner who sold it to me has no idea. I think the kite that he sold me came from an auction house or storage auction with random stuff that was in there.

dug up an old posting on size/description:
> Q2002 / 2m = Qusic only (WhirlWind with musical notes flying out)
> Q2003 / 3m = Qebra (Zebra Stripes) or Q=MC2 (with Einstein sticking his tongue out)
> Q2004 / 4m = Qrazy (Mountain made of the characters in the Q logo & lightning
> bolt hitting the tallest peak) or Q=MC2
> Q2005 / 5m = Qing (Egyptian god with one wing spread) or Q=MC2
