Mood: Get in my buggy!

Sorry again that we couldn't make things happen a few days back! I had to go with the first responder as we all would have.

At least on PKF I seem to have been the only LongStar owner (out of the closet anyway) in North America. I've not seen you on XK (at least as Prussik) but there are a few folks Down Under that I know own some LongStars.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got some traction putting up a Wanted posting there and seeing if anybody bites. The kites are single skin and pretty light and compressible so it might not cost too much to ship you one from, say, Australia. The venerable Mr. John Holgate owns some so he will likely see this post.

Good luck! :thumbup:

No problem. I could get one from Born if I really had to have it but
-1. They are not worth some 200 Euros considering the amount of work required to make them acceptable - if at all.
-2. I am boycotting them as a matter of principle for the ongoing tax collection scam.
