Scudley and solaris do you have anyone it should go to next or can I ship it to dgkid78?

dgkid78 has got me his addy so if there is someone else in line first, I need to know or I'm sending it to dgkid78 and then he'll have to send it to you...

I'll give it till Tuesday April 28th and then it's heading to who ever is next... so far its dgkid78...

Is it too late to jump on the list? Maybe with a few more interested parties, we can keep her in circulation 'til csa-deadon can fly again! If so add me, I've only flown Ozone and some HQ, would love the chance to fly a Reflex. Bob

Please send me a U2U with your addresses and I will try to organize to keep shipping costs down.
Screwy, glad you liked the kite. I sure love them and there is nothing I like better than someone who agrees with me. The 3m is a lot of fun too, I am not sure which I like to fly more.

Dgkid78 will have to wait. Screwy you are in luck in terms of shipping expense. Soylent who lives not far from you would like to give the Reflex a try. I will U2U his address. He will send to Dgkid78 in Ma. Then it is on to Bobalooie57 in NY.
That is unless someone between the Bay Area and Boston wants it.
It would have been an awesome for flying it here, 15 kts steady as a rock.

Odd I've had it for about a week now, got it on the 11th or 12th. Had one light breezy day but nothing exciting. Don't think we're gonna see much more wind till fall.

So much for the USPS tracking service as it still shows that you have not picked it up.
Sorry for the whinge, hope the wind picks up soon.

Be careful Soylent that kite packs some punch :wow:

We should have some wind the next couple days with the cooling trend coming through. Hopefully you will get some good winds to try it out in.

If you adjust the bridle so the leader is attached at the knot closest to the leading edge, the kite will fly in surprisingly low wind. You have to fly it fast, lots of power spins, but it will pull as long as you keep it moving. At NABX when the wind was not a howling gale, Ed and I were still flying our Reflexes while many others with larger kites were sitting out on the playa waiting for wind. Of course, we are from Vancouver, so we get lots of time to practice flying really low wind :(.

Ya I missed it. When ya said mail I thought USPS .:rolleyes: LOL it was fedex and I was at work. Unfortunatley i am gonna miss it for all 3 attempts to drop off. My Bad I didn't plan ahead. I will most likely pick it up at the fedex location after 3rd attempt, If i can't figure out his route and meet him. There is a Fedex warehouse 10 min from my house but the package is coming from a warehouse in Rhode Island. Weird lol I will have to go there to pick up. :bigok:

PS Sorry for the minor delay. I know everyone wants there try
