Leash
So I'm about to get this M5 sent off to Powerzone, but I realize I need a leash... Anybody have one they'll part with for cheapo?
I'm going to take a nap now

Errr.... um.... veja-du? or are you just trying to gaslight/confuzzle me?
Didn't we dance around this maypole here?
Not sure you are going to get much cheaper than $29 if you are still looking for a short leash for use with the buggy.

Oh yeah,... Since I haven't gotten the kite fixed yet, I still haven't gotten a leash... And I can't seem to find anyone who carries that shorty
leash, so I thought I'd ask if anyone had one they'd give up for cheap... Plus I see the disadvantages of the shorter leash... Found a used Cabrina on
Amazon for $25 + $5 shipping... That's an option... Just putting my feelers out.

Or you could make one. It's just rope and a shackle all of which can be acquired at a marine store.

I was thinking of doing that and using my wichard QR as a safety... So that's kosher?

Depending on the kite and how much it yanks when it's released to the leash is what I'd be concerned about. With the LEI kites, there is quite a bit
of yank even with a long bungee leash.

I had a decent amount of yank with the arc, but I'm not sure the bungee causes the yank to some degree. The length of the leash causes some momentum
that maybe a short leash would not have. It would be interesting to experiment a little.
