Slingshot fuel 2003+


Why is this the only cheap kite I ever see on ebay? Is there something wrong with them or do they just keep updating the design and people want to keep up with that so they buy the newer model?

Most pre 2005 C kites go pretty cheap. They are 4 line and usually aggresive kites. Around 05 C kite went 5 line MUCH safer . Around that time designs got better as well.

You can add an attachment for a 5th line and get rid of 1 of the 2 problems with theses kites.
