Cleaning house... I get to kite about once a year these days, if I am lucky, and this kit deserves to be used. Keeping my low aspect ratio Ozone Kites as those are easy to use for someone way out of practice, but have decided to part with my Begos that take a bit more technique to fly safely and well.

More pictures available via email.

WOW.... that's a beauty...... if it wasn't for NABX just around the corner I would be spending some money.....

Hey.... I got an idea..... maybe you should add a survey to your sale...... it seems to be giving thanson2001ok quite a bit of attention!!!!

Anyway..... great looking kite..... I'm jelly!!!!

Omg....gorgeous bego!!!

That was the best bego color scheme, hands down.

Thanks ya'll... I got very lucky when i bought these... both my 400 and 600 had the gold, black and red color scheme

Thing looks new! Someone is going to score a sweet deal here!

Goof, pull the trigger bro! This is one kite you don't want to slip away. On smooth wind days I fly my 600 and all I can say is WOW! Gets you rolling pretty fast in some pretty light wind. Turns easily with not too much input, and when u want to turn fast, it does turn on a wingtip. Easily one of the best kites I have owned!

mougl, man I want to..... but it comes down to the Bego or NABX....... just can't do it...... I don't know what I would let go in my quiver to get this.....

besides my arcs would get jelly.... and there is that new P2 24m on the horizon......

Well..... gotta quit looking at this thing before I spend my dough......

Beautiful kite....... hey.... didn't beamerbob say he wanted to go fast???? at least with this kite he'd be trying in grand style....... I think he should buy it......

Someone needs to buy this so I don't have to justify to Sheska why I own 2 Bego 600s...

HAHAHAHAHA.......

remove the temptation mougl.........

you will be like royalty flying this on the beach!!!!


I hear foot steps........

clocks ticking!!!!

New Photo for a bump

great pic.................nice lightweight ripstop..................you can see the cell walls thru the skin. Take a look at the intakes. They are full open via being reinforced with stiffners to allow for early on and smooth air flow into the cells..................cross vent ports are well done......paraglider quality incorporated throughout...........hard to beat. I needed a four meter kite to round out my FB buggy quiv (boughthis 400) or I would have snagged this one.................dont let this package slip away:duh:

Thanks Tridude

I can't believe this is still here. Bego 600 is like a little slice of heaven

Time to pour some gas on the fire

(Short review and some outdoor pics to fully highlight the color scheme, which is the same as the one that is up for sale).

I think this http://www.racekites.com/2007/09/2034/ is a great review. Its of a 400 but they fly the same - just in different winds. Begos are unusual kites, but IMO they were ahead of their time and still very viable.

picked up the 400 today..................this kite is almost new, maybe 3 to 5 flights..................the whole RTF package is cherry!

It's been flown a bit more than that.
Happy to hear it made to you safely.

I take care of equipment as best I can... and I will say, the 400 saw more use than the 600.

What color scheme was the 400?

same as his 600...............

Slo you do take care of your equipment...................the whole package mint cherry/.....................dont let his 600 get away folks..................the 400 completed my FB buggy quiver

I still can't believe this has not sold. Folks, it doesn't get much better than this for an all arounder...

Heading out of town this coming Friday for a week. I can ship a Paypal purchase out before I go; otherwise, I'll check back in here when I get back.

Just curious,... the "600", is that 600 cm,... does that mean it is equivalent to a 6m kite?

In other words what size is this?

correct mi amigo....................great low wind 6m sail.................you have the skillz to handle this kite. Lift is there if and when you need it or you can dial it out if you want to stay grounded.....................Mac Para quality is right there with the big boyz (FS, Peter Lynn, Ozone, Flexi)........

Yep, as Tridude said... 6m.

To get the best performance out of the bego they need to be flown with a bit of break applied which is the learning curve with the kite. My 600 is power ringed, which helps with this too.

A good trick when first learning this kite is to fly with the handles held horizontally like they are a bar so the bottom end of the handles extend out to either side which keeps a light constant tension on the brake lines

I bet for its size, this kite pulls like a truck ... the projected area of the Mac Bego 600 is very very close to that of a 6.8m ViperS

Begos are very flat kites which means they project almost their entire sail to the wind. When they are staked out on the ground this will become very apparent.

You will be hard pressed to find any 6 or 4 meter kite that pulls harder than a 600 or 400. When they were more available, they were known to be the hardest pulling kites of their size.

As an owner of both a 600 and 400, I totally agree with that statement.

I sold my 7mm JOJO ET Instinct and my 8.5 Blade III after buying my 600. The 600 had better upwind ability and was faster then both and had a better low end then the 8.5 because it was lighter and faster.

They aren't that tough to fly. If you can fly foils and can't figure these out in 5 minutes then you are doing something wrong. I gave my 600 to a blade IV buggy rider and he took it for a spin with no issues, no learning curve, no crashes and no backstalls. He commented that it was one of the best kites he ever flew on a first attempt.

Stop it...I keep missing my blue/white Bego 600 now!
