Wow! Once you've flown all of those kites, your feedback will be invaluable to those who are considering kites in the pansh lineup. Enjoy!

That's a whole lot of kites. Makes me feel less bad about the three that I've bought up in only a couple months. Okay, that's a lie....bought a fourth today....but the price was right!

I see that you've only got 10 of them listed in the sig.....I take it you're selling off the rest.

There is no way you're getting wind this weekend. One kite is enough to kill the wind for a solid week so with 20 you'll be lucky if it blows again this year :tumble:.

Lucky dogg, Save me a big one! Why could they not have came last weekend? Congrats! I hope your arms fall off. I hate to jinks but the law of getting a new kite is no wind for two weeks!:P But I guess because you got 20 It will blow for twenty days! Call me when you get back from the beach so we can try some out. Hell I'm excited I am calling you now! Don't sell them all til I get a chance to try some in different sizes.That would be cool. Brat!:thumbup:

To get the deal I become a dealer and ordered 20 kites. I'm not sure if I'm the only one. Pansh made it seem like they had more new dealers than they knew what to do with, but I haven't seen anyone else selling any in the US. I'm definately selling some, but I'm also keeping any I want. I'm not posting any for sale on the forum since its against the rules. I like this forum too much to risk getting kicked off.

There is a for sale section of the forum that is just the ticket. You aren't promoting a company. You're just a guy selling some of his kites is my interpretation. By the way Thrasher, keep those paws off my 6m Ace. :P
Mine's the red one.

Have you ever seen such an emotional picture as a stack of 20 new kites sitting lined up like that? I'm not sure I could handle it if they were all parked on stakes at the beach at the same time. Someone did 3 Blades, and then wasn't there some combo pics of the Combats? Very nice indeed.

Ok, I guess you win! :spin:

You know, it really would be a cool pic to have all those aces sitting at attention in a row either in the same color or in alternating colors. It would be a lot of work unless you were gonna fly all of them anyway. Maybe not many opportunities to get a shot like that. Well dlish says he is gonna keep one of everything, so he could do it any time I guess. A fun project if you had most of a day for flying. What perspective to be able to fly all of them in the same day in the same wind.

As a matter of fact I have been good. You are the first one to notice though! You realize you are just helping enable this addiction I've developed. Thanks!

I have whats in my sig. I ordered multiples of what I wanted. Except the 8.5 blaze I only got 1 and its mine for sure. Unless for some reason I don't like it then someone will get a smoking deal on a used 8.5. :smilegrin: I mostly ordered alot of ace's. The blaze weren't that much cheaper than their website, but they sure are cool looking.

I haven't tried it in the buggy but I'm guessing the Blaze would be great. It pulls hard yet won't lift you out if you take the kite up high at speed. I imagine it could yank you out if you dropped it back behind you at speed. It has a good pull but not as much aspect ratio or as snatchy as my CF, so it would be gentle. I imagine the 8.5 would be great for light winds.

This weekend I hope to have the 4.5 or 5.5 legend + the 5m ace + 5m blaze out at the same time to test them one after another to be able to give a review on the differences I experienced.

Where is that review?:frog: Sorry man I know you didn't get to fly this weekend that really sucks. Did you have a good time anyway? I hope so but I know how it feels having kites and no wind. I have to deal with that almost daily.:saint:
