foggyblackpool Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Do you get 10 sets of each kite or ten sets and you choose what combination of sizes you want? It isnt the most clearly written ebay listing. Quote

KineticRepair Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 It seems tempting but don't do it!I deal with a few of the chinese manufacturers, they seem to take rough dimensions of a good kite, eg chord width,span, aspect ratio, profile width etc and design a kite around the measurements. The quality is usually completely fine(because big brands are usually made in the same factory) but the kites often just don't fly right, like the wind range might be weird or the tow points might be in strange positions so they are over sheeted or way underpowered etc etc. I have flown a few of these chinese kites (china kites, karmack kites). Not saying it's complete rubbish at all, i'd just take the safe route and buy a good second hand kite! Quote
kinny Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Super smiley family crazy kite challenge! PLACE BETS KNOW!!!! Quote
kiteingcolin Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 old (new) C kites for £300? just look at them, like old style boxer kites, or wipika school kites, great 5 years ago if you were short of cash, but today that style of kite is worth £45, the bar is the best bit for the lines which must be worth £50, so £100 worth of gear for £300+, ok i will leave it for now, Quote
foggyblackpool Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Its one of the strangest ebay listings ive ever seen lol. Quote
KiteItRight Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA Ey kev are they Sams SUNGLASSES!? HAHAHA epic Quote
andrewjohn Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 I recently bought a bare bar from this ebayer. It's identicle in every way to the new Ozone bars, even down to the tiny holes for the line retaining elastic. Looks a quality piece of kit. Was on at £30 I offered £20, so cost about £30 all in with shipping, and arrived within a week. Not saying the kites are any good, but i'd certainly buy spares from them again. Quote
foggyblackpool Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Which of the two bars did you get mate? Quote
andrewjohn Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220226685168 The only thing thats not great about it is that it is all black with no way of telling left from right, but I've just put different coloured leaders on it. Quote
mattdez Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 if u look down the listing it says post is £342!! Quote
hankster Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 if you go into their shop the whole package is £2799.00 so with £342 P&P it works out at £3142.00 the same. Quote
