Like Richard, I've only seen the ones with the sleeve for the foam. They didn't really help relaunching the kite off water but they definitely keep it from sinking.
Do the inflated ones get the kite off the water a little more to break the surface tension? With the bigger kites that was also when we saw broken rods trying to peel them off water when they were stuck and then a wave would munch them.

I'd be interested too, depending on price.

NABX also sounds tempting, but I still can't envision myself schleping out there all the gear I'd want/need to take.

I'm taking everything to nabx and picking up my 10.8m Reactor II when I get there. I hope the wind doesn't still go outside the boundaries of my quiver. I'd still be interested in one of those c-quads though just because they are nostalgic and different.

mj -

Where in the Netherlands are the cquads located? I am currently in Germany, only 20 minutes from the Dutch border near Venlo, Limburg.

Can you get me a price if i come pick up?

Thanks,

Toby

Good to know. I hadn't realized that from anything I had read. Any idea on the price yet. For most of us that is the big deciding factor. Also timing is huge. This was offered in November and 3 months later we are still waiting on a price.:no:

If you look at the end of the link/page, you'll see that there was an option for controlling the C-Quad with a bar. Maybe for ease of hooking in on water?
edit: sorry, I meant to post this after roc's inquiry about control bar in the For Sale section! oops!

If you aren't going to make it to NABX or are just chomping at the bit, BBRex has had some C-Quads up for grabs for quite some time now... and they are already stateside.

Not looking to sour anyone's deal, but things sometimes get lost in the Sale section, so I thought it was worth a "heads-up".

Yes, I saw that, and I also saw that rocfighter was interested, but thought he needed a bar. BR clarified that they fly best on handles, I was just pointing out the bar option.(and figured people might see how much they are asking for new c-Quads, so won't be too sticker shocked should the 8.5's make it here! :o )

I saw those for sale but really looking for the 8.5 for low wind. I might not need it after I get the flysurfer S1.5 17m though. Time will tell.
