-- SOLD --

Peter Lynn 2015 Hornet 4.0m RTF for sale. Comes complete with lines, handles, kite killers, kite stake, and the beautiful green Hornet 4.0m backpack. This kite is in extra-crispy "like-new" condition, having only been flown 2-3 times on grass fields with no crashes. I'm only selling it since I'm going to an all single-skin quiver and because my bride has dutifully informed me that if I want new kites coming in the front door then old kites have to go out the back. :saint:

New this kite costs $350.

$225 plus shipping

The best reason I've ever heard for selling a kite! You should marry that girl.. ohh, wait, you are! Good show!

You better believe it! I'm 20+ years into my second and final marriage. If I screw this one up I think I'm just going to have to come to the conclusion that I'm not very good at it!

This is the only way I get new gear

I have a woodshop with tools to sell too though

smoking deal on that hornet guys. I would buy it if I didn't have any adult responsibilities that are taking precedent at the moment. I have flown my bosses (which he only flew once and never again) and it is one of the nicest flying well behaved fixed bridles I have flown. I think they really did a good job on the latest hornet. One of those kites that I would probably like a quiver of if I could.

I would say it's more exciting than a beamer but more stable and forgiving than most of the medium aspect offerings. Kind of an under rated kite in my opinion

Keeping me seeing straight Spencer. Dutifully edited. :frog:

Thanks for the bump Sean! Great to see us Star brothers supporting one another.

Bump because I changed sales terms

You know you want some chicken! :P

-- PRICE REDUCTION --

I had this kite originally listed higher, but price for RTF has been reduced to $220. Shipping remains free in the lower-48 U.S.

Hi,

I guess I'll buy it if I have to...


Sorry I was flakey...

kkites - my store is (almost) always open! How do you want it, RTF or kite-only? Please feel free to send me a U2U if you'd prefer; we needn't do this in the stark light of day.

Thought I had this sold.... Now not so sure. Get it while it's hot! :D

Bump for change in sales terms, now $225 plus shipping. That's 64% off new for a practically new kite!

This is a great price. Someone needs to nab it. Summer is the hardest time to move kites other than water kites. I know I'm hiding inside while the temp hits 104-108 the rest of the week

Thanks Mike! I hope you are having a great summer. I'm a little surprised nobody has grabbed this one, but as you say, the summer is a s-l-o-w time to move non-water kites. I'm in no particular rush to sell it. It sits all boxed up and ready to go in my garage, patiently waiting for its new owner to surface and give it the use it deserves. It's a great kite as you know!

I consider a 4 meter the perfect high wind kite for a heavy rider that's inland and rides grass. I think it would cover close to the same range as a 3m on hard packed sand. I almost never have the wind for a 3 meter or less kite (probably 3-4 times a year). Comparatively, I frequently have 15-20 wind in the spring / fall which a 4 meter on grass is perfect for.

Sean - completely agree. So where am I shipping it to in Indy?

Thanks Steve, but still saving my pennies. A 4 meter foil is what I started with and learned to buggy with.

Added newer, larger picture

if summer is a slow time to sell my 3 and 5 meter beamers, guess having my wife pose in her bikini with them is the next step in one-up-man-ship for the other hawkers of gear on PKF

Too funny! Bring it on Big Daddy. Yes, very slow selling in the summer. In this particular case I'm in no rush to sell. I'll bump it up from time I guess. Bikinis sales aids would be awesome. If not, send in the clones!

Maybe I should threaten to post pictures of myself in a speedo next to my Jojo's if no one will buy them :P

I shot this photo on a remote island north east of Fiji this spring.

Sweet! Anybody you know?

Hello,
I have been reading some about Peter Lynn models and their quality. I am looking for a 4 line kite somewhere in the 3m range. I have not flown much only a symphony 1.8 and I am already hooked, hooked big time! The question I have is will this be too much for a beginner level enthusiast? I don't plan to use it for buggy or board just some grass field fun.
It is a great price just more than I was planning to spend. If it is a kite I will be able to get use out of then I will have to see if I can scrape up the needed funds. Just don't want to have something this nice collecting dust.

Thank you for your time
T

Hi T - yes, still for sale! This is a great kite by a good manufacturer. Practically new. You've asked asked some good questions. To see whether this is a good kite for you it would be helpful if you let me know where you live. You've mentioned grassy fields so I'm thinking inland. Second, how much do you weigh? Not trying to get personal, but a 4m (versus 3m) Hornet has more pull and a very light weight person might find this more kite than they want. If you are average size or larger than that shouldn't be a problem. With the wind up over 10 mph a 4m fixed-bridle kite like a Hornet will give you a nice work out but not leave you afraid you are going to get hurt. Also, a 4m still turns nicely (compared to larger fixed bridles), particularly when you learn how to use a touch of brake on the side you want to turn towards.

All in all a great kite at a great price, unless you weigh less than, say, 150 lbs.

Windstruck , thanks for the quick response! I live in Northeast Wisconsin along Lake Michigan so although I have room to fly along the beach, most of the time I will be inland a few miles. I weigh 200 lbs wish I could say 150
If you were to guess how large of a box will everything fit into? Just trying to estimate shipping cost.
Also what methods of payment are you looking for?

Thanks again for the response
T

Well, that was quick.

T, once you're the master of that Hornet, cheezy has a 3m and 6.7m Core that will not only compliment your static quiver, but are also excellent buggy engines.

Welcome to the family.
