There's one for sale in my area and I know nothing about them so I thought I'd ask you guys! It's RTF with bar and lines. If I buy it I'd like to buggy it, maybe even put handles on it. It's for sale for $200, RTF. Seems like a good deal to me, he says there are no rips or tears and the lines aren't frayed or damaged.

What do you think, buy or don't buy?

Thanks!!

It definetly seems very cheap if you ask me.

Riots are an intermediate + kite. High power for their size, and pretty lifty too, so it could be a hand full for many people (hense the sale?) Some people have said theyre blade killers, as they have the lift many people want, as well as high stability. It hasn't really caught on though. They are good buggy engines though.

To buy or not to buy ?
If I were you, I would be aware that it will be different from your vipers, and if your still up for it, money wise it seems a good deal. (a while back there was a 5m riot for sale for 200 USD!) Check it out, make sure it's as described, and go from there

Hope this helps,
Tim

I'm by no means an expert, but am selling a 5m riot at the mo, so have done a bit I research on them.
I'm sure others will give their opinions too!

I know with my big fat fb 10m kite its too slow in its wind range to fly in small fields and the few times I've built up speed on the besch the appearent wind factor creates huge side pull and puts me out of business (I'm 155# on ultalight trike w/ barrows). Fish for that information to see if it will suit your needs.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm thinking that it might be too lifty a kite for me, I'm in it for speed right now so I think I'll start looking for an intermediate race kite. I think the Reactor 2 is calling my name! I highly doubt I'll get one for $200, though! Anyway, thanks again guys...much appreciated.

If anybody is interested in this kite, it's on the Portland, OR craigslist.

Let us know how you like it if you buy please

I owned a 7m riot and they are very lifty kites and slower on the turning. I never got to use it in the buggy. I always used it for static and it was great for jumping. I couldn't imaginea 9m. It would be so lifty smell it would have to be on 25m lines in light very light to bnot get yanked out. It would be good for freestyle buggy though.
