tom1599968574 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Ive just flogged a load of kites to fund some new uns....and I think i like it!! Whilst im in the mood, anyone fancy givin me an offer on the bohemoth that is my 23.5 arx?? I very rarely fly it anymore so if anyone wants a train, make me an offer! Its black and white, takes about 2 hours to pump up and is in pretty good nick. There are one or two pin holes in the canopy but nothing much at all for a kite of this age! Would be kite only as I need the bar for my 17.5! http://www.tdcengineering.net/big%20arx.jpg Quote
grant965 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 iits so big why dont u go n ask army if they want a new engine for a battle ship lol Quote
needakite mike Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 haha the bar looks like its about 150cms Quote
kinny Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 What's the wind range on something, well any kite that big? Is it a viable low wind kite or just an old school solution to low wind which never caught on? And more importantly, have you looped it? Quote
skye Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 ive seen him moving in a buggy with it when my kites wouldnt even stay in the air. Quote
aevans692 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 That must be the biggest kite in the world ... lol . imagine kite looping that would take an hour . . and after you have been out you could hold a small party under it . kite/ marquee in one .. what's your best price ? Quote
tom1599968574 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Posted July 16, 2008 the bar I fly it on is [i think off the top of my head] a standard naish 27"er. If by kiteloop you mean fly it 360 degrees round you in a circle whilst walking backwards cos theres no wind, yes its easy to loop! Theres a video on foilmans website of when we gaffa taped a full size old skool video camera to the leading edge and 'kitelooped' it round wallop for an interesting perspective of a kite festival! As for wind range/viable solution etc, its not a viable solution, its so slow, turns like an oil tanker and in less than 2mph, its a pig to keep in the air. More than a few mph and youll be overpowered. If your half decent at flying and know how to keep a big kite flying, you can buggy/board with it in such wind. wouldnt be such a small party, its the best part of 9 ft deep and 40ft long! Looks like the bidding has opened at 50 quid...! Quote
