China is across the international date line. Things always ship faster from there because they go back in time.

Officially ordered.

FYI - click the "Buy" tag to add the kite to the cart, go back to continue shopping and click the "Buy" tag again. Et Voila - two kites. If you hit the "Add" button it only ever nets one kite.

Two black and a white comin' up (we hope ; )

Man I am dieing to buy something. a 15m would fit nice. I hope you like them

I promised myself I wasn't buying anything else. Then this came up.

Like I mentioned I bought in on the promo Ace @ $100 back in the day. Mostly to prove to myself it could be true. Still have the kite !

I have more faith this time. Getting to choose my own colour only adds confidence that they will be checking these close.

Always wanted to chose my own colours. Black with red tips! :eureka:

Still want an all white kite ?

MUST STOP BUYING KITES !!!!!!:ticking:

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a bargain too......

@macboy- was unable to find the 3 for 2 deal so any add'l info appreciated
Also to any in the US- assuming we can do the 3 for 2 deal i am interested in one and would glad to be the "organizer" for a couple here in the states- $200 to try out an idea i have, seems reasonable let me know

For me it was right on the home page - a floating image (below). Here's the link to the deal details.

Just got an email from Pansh - the order has been processed and will ship in 24 hours. No mention of any issues with the bargain. I'll keep everyone posted.

Hmmm,

I have emailed them twice asking about spec's on the bar. No answer and I assumed it was because they are still on holiday?

Dino,
I set up an old but new 50cm Cab' bar with an O.R. trim starp and a P.L. safety. Love Frankin'stuff! Not the longest throw but longer than the Cab' one. It may be a frankin'bar but it looks slick! All red and black like the kite! Total cost .... nothing ! I do get your point though. When this kite goes back to full price adding a bar will eat into it's " cheap " appeal.

Since the kite is 9.2 wings span I set my ( adjustable ) bar stopper at 5.5m. From the drawing it looks like the 5th should be equal in length to the 4 fly lines so I set it that way but used a Qline extension so it will be adjustable also. SOUND RIGHT ????

I feel terrible about how excited I am to get this kite. I am torn between wanting it to be an epic fail and it replacing the 14m Eskimo. I want it to do the job. Having chosen my own colours for the 1st time makes me want to really OWN this kite. Even if it means upgrading pulleys etc.. Fact is, I haven't been this excited about waiting to get a kite in a long time. Worth some of that $200 to revisit that thrill again ! Thanks Mac' !

The 5th line you will want longer than your 4 other lines. It should have a sag in it when flying. You do not want it tight under normal flying conditions. But also do not make it too long so that it will activate when you release the bar .. unless you do not put any stopper on the line and the bar has free travel to go as far as it wants.

I'm not worried about you snowy, but I can already see a new thread on the horizon ... Got my Pansh de-power ... now how do I tune a bar to make it fly correctly

I modified my 1st Ckite to 5th line in 06 so I think I have been at it a while. I have also had my Psycho II converted by powerzone and had to replace it when it snapped. My 13m Phsycho and 7m Pulse both had 5th . I am familiar with how they work. Kinda sorta :duh:

I have lots of extra length ready on the Qline. I am just guessing that Pansh has added the little extra so that all 4 equal is it ??? But we are talking Pansh. Hence the adjustability all round.

Tuna bar is more like it for you ! :P

The fact that this is bugging you adds $50 to the pleasure of waiting !
