Should I wait for a Century or wait for a Combat?

Oh how you all mock, it'll be good to see your faces when they arrive at the beginning of May

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

May 2009

 

PMSL

 

Maybe if you knew what we knew you wouldn't be laughing you'd be starting to sell your Yaks and chatting to Roger, traitor .

Dave....it's all a cunning plan...

Hmm.. going on some of the local racing here, you don't need these big race buggies and twitchy high-performance kites. What you really need is a flexi bug that rattles very badly and looks a bit tatty and a big depower kite.

 

A guy with a 10m Speed blew away most of the field finishing 2nd in the first two rounds of the SEKA races. Admitedly, it's not super cup, but there were a few embarrased K-platers about!

having a K plate means nothing though all it means is your either a member of the FED or PKA which anyone can join.

Like we all say, it ain't the kite and it ain't the buggy. Get him to tip up to the Supercup and ply his trade!!

As a few posts above have said, the pilots ability has a huge impact on how a kite performs. Watching Jeffrington at Hoy flying Oxi's, mixing it with Nitro's, Yaks and Centuries was very entertaining.

 

"Mixing it" i think it was more a case of me getting in the way, especially at the turns

OK - let me rephrase that - people with 1k+ buggies, race kites AND k-plates.

No I think I cornered the market there (excuse the pun)

Just cause they have a few grands worth of kit dont make them any good, just means they have lots of disposable income ...... b*stards

Haha, agreed

[khooke]

ok guys, so what's the final verdict, is it worth to keep waiting for a Combat to appear, look for a Century to be had for a bargain, or consider something else that's more easily available right now (dare I say it, a Yak?) ??

 

PS. G - doesn't your custom colour scheme resemble the colours the original Preds came in (can't see if that's red or orange on my screen, but looks pretty impressive either way )

 

Cheers, Kev

I'd wait for mmm, a grand total of about 1-2months and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...

 

And just ignore Dan, its not his fault he can't type or buggy to save himself (lets hear some sympathy people! Awww )

Kev (khooke),

Sorry to reply about 5 pages late, but I didn't wait for the combat and I

found a second hand 4.5 century to complete my set.
