reactor II for sale

this is a 5.5 reactor II I got from Beamer Bob a few years back.
Not sure of the age but its in great shape RTF $325.00
Reason for selling is that I am switching over to de-power kite quiver.

I bought those in 2009 late in the fall IIRC. That 5.5 was tuned by the designer himself. Michel Decker from PL. He started taking the bridles apart and I asked some question about him doing this before. He responded with something that started with "when I designed this kite". There is a picture somewhere of me watching him in total confidence after that. I only sold this kite because I never need a kite that big at Ivanpah.

yes, I was there and saw him doing his bridle wizardry, thanks for adding that info.
The only thing I modified on this kite was to make the brake lines a little longer.

@KAZEDOKA: I guessed maybe out of town on business, so really sorry to hear he was in hospital. Whenever he is up to repsonding will be fine. Thanks for updating me.

@ssayre: Better advice than you may even realize. Would help my bank account balance go in the right direction if I could just act on that. Seriously though, if you have a desire for Bob's Reactor or have been thinking about it, I will gladly hold off on pursuing it. Would be a great fit between your Twister and Blade in your listed quiver.

Still a great kite with a good story and a family history.
Wish it fit my quiver.
