Pansh sale. [Edited - Northern Group Buy Done. Order shipped from Pansh.]
So I was musing in the Lobster thread and wandered over to the Pansh site for a peek-see and saw the 15m Aurora being offered up at 50% off.......
Anyone have any info at all? Dieter? You flown one yet? $300 isn't bad to experiment with as long as someone's willing to buy it off me for $200 when
I'm done.
[GROUP BUY?]
Okay, I'm in. Anyone want to get them even CHEAPER?
I'm willing to broker the transaction if two others want to get in on this. Not only are the 12 and 15's on sale but the 3 for 2 is still on. For
example....if we order up 3 15's we pay for two so we each pay $200 for the kite. One 15 and two twelves we pay $178. Two 15's and a 12......you get
my point.
Obviously we'd need to mail the kites out to the new owners so there's a bit more cost there but minor compared to the huge savings on the kit.
Two kites for $543:eekdrull:- 12 for $235 :eekdrull:- 15 for $299 :eekdrull:
Customize to ALL BLACK or ALL "whatever" for extra $180
Try that with Flysurfer or HQ ?????

that got me looking!! ahha, would like to cause I've been wanting a light wind workhorse for the snow season, but can't at the moment.
just browsing around and might want to look into this...
It would probably be a good thing to double check and see if Pasch's has fixed this...although the other fella posting in the comments did say that
the kite flew better after extending the back lines).
that being said, if the issue's been fixed and if you only have 1 other person and still go ahead with the 3 kite deal with the intention to sell, I
might go for the 3rd kite around Dec/Jan.

i have to disagree somewhat with the video's verdict (no i am not a fanboy).
i don't keep up with new kites nowadays so i had no idea this aurora was a depower.
i did not clearly see the pilot at the beginning of the video and thought he had the kite on handles so i thought the kite was a big FB.
i've flown Pansh's Ace; 6, 7, 8 and the 5 Sprint LE.
this aurora flies friggin cirlcles around the Ace 8 (and all the other kites listed above), it turns tight and speeds to edge.
the 8m Ace is simply next to useless on a bar and can be managed by someone with experience on handles.
i was shocked near the end of vid to see the guy had the aurora on a bar and it was in fact a depower kite and not a FB on handles.
i'll have to take the guys 'word' when he stated the trailing edge wasn't even tucking when he pulled bar. i can't see/video quality for my self.
HOWEVER....pulling bar on depower kite/system is not intended simply to tuck the trailing(as is what applying brake input does with FBs)...
pulling bar with depower settup is done to move the "draft point" of the foil more fore and/or aft of the leading edge.
in the video i did notice the kite behave as though the brakes were applied. i assume those instances were attributed to when the pilot pulled bar.
for the price i'd say it is not a fail.

Cool MD - one more and she's done. I'll keep my eyes on this and as soon as we've got a 3rd I'll put the order in. You can pay when they arrive and
we've calculated/arranged shipping to your place.
Re: Reviews.......I figure even with some tweaking required Dieter will help me out and can feed the info right back to Pansh. That, and if there are
issues with the kite I KNOW he can help me/us get it all sorted whether it means a new kite or what.
The thing that caught me as odd was the fact that one guy kept saying something like "the wind hits the top of the kite and makes it collapse -
lengthen the back lines. ?? I think you'd need the opposite......
Anywho. A 15 is what I'm after so I might as well give it a whirl - especially for $200. I'm working on a contra deal with a FSer retailer so if this
is a stinker I can likely nab a 15 from them for the winter.
We've got four in line. Smeagol & Eqrall it's between you two.
Eqrall - U2Ud you.
Heads up - in doing the math once you calculate shipping from me to you it seems that the 15 is the real deal. If you were thinking about a 12m the
group buy doesn't save you much if anything so you can freely put your order in direct with Pansh. Tell the wide I said it's OK.
So, if you're hankering for a 15 let's do it. Maybe do some chipping calculations to your address from mine - 6812-86 Street, Edmonton, AB Canada T6E
2Y1 to make sure you're still getting a deal at the end of the day.
So ...... looked at the site. Don't see the multi kite buy but I'll bite!
Obviously I am well off going in with somebody from Alberta ( or bc ) . If anybody wants to commit , I will split + split shipping of yours from Van.
Or reverse.
Looks like I need to rig up a 5th line to one of my bars?
Dieter didn't have anything to offer (hasn't seen it yet) but at the price and with Dieter close by us I think it's a safe gamble. The cost will be
$200 plus shipping to your place from here. Let me know if you're in BR.
I think the cross border postage from here to the US kinda messes up the economies here but it's a great deal. Someone in the US should set up a
similar buy? There are two from down south interested just need a third that can front the dough and they can get the deed done too.
ya, not sure about the technical knowledge about the guys in the video, just wanted to make sure that you guys were aware of potential issues. It was
more of a double check thing, maybe contacting Pansch if nobody had run across it before.
sounds like fun, probably won't be long before hearing how you guys are getting along with it.
Macboy, I'll have to give your's a go when we do a snowkite meet up.
Get me your custom colour request right away. What I'll do is just buy two kites (two transactions) and shoot them an email explaining the
transactions and requesting the third.
