I wouldn't sell my phantoms unless the Phantom IIs surpass what I like about my originals. I probably wouldn't sell my 10m Synergy because the charger is too zippy for appropriate winds. I've toyed with selling the 15 syn to be replaced with a 19m charger. On the fence there though. I guess I'd sell any kite if I could improve the performance I get from it.

My Phantom, and my Beamer IV 5m!

The phantom because I will probably never be able to replace it.

My Beamer 5m because when in doubt I can always grab that kite and fly it till my arms are ready to fall off! That has dragged me and my buggy more than any kite I have! I love this kite up to about 18-20mph! It never fails me!

[*] posted on 19-1-2011 at 04:09 PM


I'd more or less not sell any of them. The only kite I might consider selling is my 16scorp for a 15 syn......but really that is a long shot too cause I want a 15m syn and would still keep the scorp as a backup and for in case I have someone come along that doesn't have a kite to fly (if I knew that he had other skills on smaller kites). To me if I treat them right they will treat me right for a long time so why not keep them.

Don't think I'll ever lose my Phantoms. And the Access which is the first brand new kite I've ever bought. Ironically the 18m Phanny was brand new too. The 15 has a long shaded history involving prison but I can't share it on the open forum :lol:

+1 more for keeping them all...

But I did sell a 2.4 radsail (off the forum!) cause it was cr#p.

And then there's the 3m legend with the stretched bridle up for grabs to anyone who wants to have a go at fixing it.

I'd give it up as a burnt offering to the wind gods and goddesses (the wind's so #@%$#!y there must be a goddess in the mix...), but doubt they would impressed by such a meager offering!

@HoustonAirHead, the legend is yours for the shipping if you want it.... :lol:



fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....

sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...

also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

I'd love to think that I'd never sell any of the kites I love.....but honestly they all have their price to get the next one.

(Of course, nobody wants a 2003 12m fuel with a popped bladder so I guess I'll never sell my first kite:bigok: )

Not a 100% true....

Jokiter is always looking for tube kite fabric (well, I think he has a little bit to go before he runs short, but it's just a matter of time).

Thanks everyone! Special thanks to Dave and Scott who helped out with their old kites. I'll put up a new post once I'm running out of fabric again.


Some pics of kites made with the skins can be found at the bottom of this thread:

My Elliot Sigma Fun 1.7m. Some years back I wandered into a kite shop while on shore visit to Warnemunde, Germany during a Baltic Cruise. We had an afternoon to kill and my wife bought me the kite.

When the venue changed from New YorS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s Central Park to Jekyll Island, I knew that I would need something bigger and that one of those buggy things I had heard about would fit well there.

One day the right kid will get the kite.
