Wanted 16m Scorpion

flyjump - 5-9-2011 at 04:21 PM

Anybody have one they want to sell? I'm starting a special project this fall where i'm going to be comparing all of the different arcs that are out there, and i'm going to try and do a video review. I would like it to be Ready to fly if possible.

g00fball is coming down from Wisconsin to meet with me and we are going to put his arsenal of kites to the test. Ultimately we are trying to put together a video review of each arc model up in the air the same day and ride them using both boards and buggies. the scorpion was my favorite arc, only second to the chargers.

If you have one please let me know. Thanks pkf.

Hey A, are you looking to purchase another Scorp or just fly it? I'm not sure I understand the project.

The Scorps were a lot of fun. Held air like a basketball net but fun as hell if she stayed inflated.

I definatly want to buy it. I loves the wicked pop / vertical lift that they had. Definatly not as much float compared to my 19 charger. To be honest, theres a small tree and a soccer goal I want to boost over, and the scorp has the best pop for that. I want to ride everything from the guerilla to the charger during our meet up, and I dont want to do it without a 16 scorpion.

Love that kite. It just about took me into a highway before cutting my finger off :rolleyes:

Never again! But I do legitimately love that kite. And superglue. Helps when your pinky is dangling from your hand :lol:

flyjump - 6-9-2011 at 05:02 PM

sean always set up your kite the same way so you don't get tangles! and always pull your safety!:bird:

Seanny - 6-9-2011 at 05:06 PM

To this day I have no idea how the tangle got in there. It wasn't flying right, so I pulled the safety, and the tangle caused it to fail utterly. So I was stuck with a kite that was completely unhooked, but would not go down. I ended up having to grab onto one line with my bare hands because I was getting pulled towards the highway, and it just did death spins till it crash landed. Not even a scratch on the kite :) and I didn't even know my finger was dangling until I looked down at it lol

I want to come!!!

flyjump - 7-9-2011 at 01:04 PM

Midgaar you are more than welcome to come join us....it will be over the thanksgiving weekend in springfield IL

g00fba11 - 7-9-2011 at 01:09 PM

Midgaar are you on skype?

Midgaar - 7-9-2011 at 01:39 PM

Yes, Justin Marzello skype. Let me see what I can work out, I should be able to make it down there.

It really took your finger off? F*** ME!

Feyd - 7-9-2011 at 03:54 PM

Good endorsement for gloves!:lol:

Seanny - 8-9-2011 at 02:52 PM

I wasn't looking around for my finger in the grass, but yes it cut through the joint :lol: personally I had a good laugh afterwards. Scared the crap out of me! What a rush :P and yes, gloves = highly recommended. I hadn't been wearing them prior to that because I got frustrated with 'em. Thought they got in the way. But now, it's a must.

Drewculous - 8-9-2011 at 03:12 PM

Donaldgould - 8-9-2011 at 07:57 PM

Midgaar - 8-9-2011 at 08:06 PM

g00fball & flyjump, add me to Skype so we can sort out some details. My wife said she'll go she just needs to find a friend to go shopping with while we are out playing. Is this a whole weekend thing? Closest motels? Any plans for the evening?

Seanny - 8-9-2011 at 09:40 PM

All roads lead to Adam, he's right smack in the middle of the U.S. Hope you guys can meet up with him, he's one hell of a kiter and a hell of a friend too

g00fba11 - 10-9-2011 at 09:35 AM

That's the plan Seanny..... you should hop on one of those roads and come join us!!!!

flyjump - 10-9-2011 at 10:36 AM

Yeah! Ill add you on skype tonight

Taper123 - 21-9-2011 at 08:08 PM

Me, Dylanj423 and one other PKF flyer are the only ones to have flown the 16 scorp I have.

Three pilots... excellant condition. I've used it for many miles on land, many miles in the water (never dropped in the water).
