Trying to Hunt Down a Few PL Arcs

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 05:31 PM

Does anyone have any of the following in their closet not being used that they would be willing to part with?

13m Guerilla
12m Phantom
14m Vortex
17m Vortex


Let me know what you got.... and condition of ripstop.....

I think I know where there are a couple of G2-22's
Have you flown one? Curious why you are looking for this one, it had to be one of the least favored kites being big, slow and really not a lot of power for it's size. I think I might also have a line on a Vortex 14 locally and there was a 16m Venom 2 up for sale in Quebec in the last couple of weeks. Let me find you contact info.

Phantom 12 sitting in a closet not being used - that's funny!

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 06:54 PM

I have the 13m, 15m and 18m in the G2 line...... so that would be awesome if I can find a G2 - 22 to finish off my set....... the 14m Vortex sounds like a good one for my son..... I think I saw that 16m VII but couldn't dig it up again.......

due to age and being a broken down old fart.... :lol: the longer I fly during the day...... the slower the kite I need to switch to........ to keep my session going.... so the G2's fit the bill nicely.....

you'd be surprised what one can find in someone's closet..... :lol:

thanks much for your help markite!!!

I waited nearly 2 years for my G2-22 because their production was delayed, and when they were ready to ship I paid a ton for it. They were a huge disappointment. Marginally more power than the 18m and slower than molasses to turn. I think I flew mine twice and sold it. Unless you're looking for an engine for a kite powered boat, I'd save your money and spend it on a better big kite.

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 08:19 PM

hey bigkahuna......

thanks for the input on the G2-22..... but it may be what an old slow guy like me needs... :lol:

I think it will come down to price on the G2 - 22..... I really like the G2-13 and the G2-15.

I think my fav arcs so far are the 18m Phantom and the 17m Bomba.... now there are 2 extremes.....

the 19m purple/aqua/black venom I got from you a while back is up there too.... awesome kite......

18M Phantom :thumbup: super stable

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 09:04 PM

18m Phantom...... got one.....

lunchbox - 27-11-2011 at 09:20 PM

Hey Goof,

I got a VII 16m...just can't decide if I want to sell it or not. I use my Charger 15m now instead, but I'm keeping the 16m as a backup. Kind of a waste though...it's just hanging in the garage next to the Scorpion 16m not getting used...

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 09:37 PM

@lunchbox..... well I think you should shoot me a price before the VII reports you for neglect....... :lol:

Or....... I know that Scorp 16m was not on my list..... but hmmmm..........

I have a 1st Gen Pulse 10m flies awesome..... came from AD72...... flies awesome....... trade possibility?????

Get that scorp!

Vince H. - 27-11-2011 at 10:20 PM

g00f,

I have a 16m VII I'm willing to part with. Brand new, never been out of the bag. Kite, bag and sticks. Looking for $425 plus shipping.

cheezycheese - 27-11-2011 at 10:27 PM

I have that G22 you are looking for.... What cha got to trade...?

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 10:35 PM

cheezy..... sent U2U on trade scenarios......

g00fba11 - 27-11-2011 at 10:39 PM

Vince..... U2U sent

lunchbox - 28-11-2011 at 07:51 AM

Hey Goof...cool, sounds like you might be hooked up on the VII 16m and new of all things....SWEET!

I think you'll really like the kite....it fit in nicely between the 13 and 19 Venom's. I liked my 19m but it was really slow and I loved my 13m because of the quick turning...16m was both powerful and relatively quick turning.

OBTW, thanks for the offer on the trade. I am actually thinking about a 10m Pulse but looking for the Pulse 2 instead.

Enjoy!

g00fba11 - 28-11-2011 at 08:03 AM

Hey lunchbox..... thanks...... both the Pulse 2 8m I have and the Pulse 10m are great kites...... if you ever think of letting that 16m Scorp go..... shoot me a U2U....

After this weekend down with flyjump and seeing some more FSer's and arcs I think my quiver is going down that path.......

PL Arcs and FSer Pulse/Unity.....

Ataud.Verde - 28-11-2011 at 03:11 PM

My neighbor has a brand new (never taken out of the bag) Vortex 14..

g00fba11 - 1-12-2011 at 02:14 PM

Thanks.... Cheezy and I are still chatting and I had received that link from another pkf'er.....thanks for all the help from everyone...... It is a tough call....

GII 22 and F Arc 16

tricatcent - 11-12-2011 at 09:41 PM

I have a GII 22 and a F arc 16. I want to sell both of them. I never use either. They are both crispy still. They have bags. Either one is $300.00

The 22 does not have it's original sticks. I have some one piece fiberglass ones that work really well although they are not colapseable. Both kites have their original bags.

The 22 was a good kite when I had a kite cat, but now I never use it. The F arc is an amazing kite, but I have a Phantom 18 and it is better.

g00fba11 - 12-12-2011 at 06:11 AM

I already picked up a GII - 22, I am interested in that F Arc but I am on a kite purchasing pause until after Christmas and the holidays.

I will u2u my info to you and if that F Arc is still available after the holidays I'd like to chat......

Thanks much......

Is this 22m Guerilla a PL?

g00fba11 - 14-12-2011 at 02:15 PM

Most likely..... they list as a Gen 1 by the description

For those with the large Venoms and Scorpions, I have this brand new kite to throw into the pot if anyone is interested.
