8.3 - 8.6 m Reactor

JimSSI - 12-9-2016 at 06:30 PM

Anyone?...Anyone?

Ideal would be the 8.3 m red/black Reactor 1.

8.6 Reactor 2 or 3 OK.

Other colors - if needs must.

Dare to dream.

8.3

Any interest in 8.3. Very good condition.

JimSSI - 16-9-2016 at 04:11 PM

Why, certainly.

I have learned the Reactor 1 is 8.3, and the Reactor 2 and 3 are the 8.6's.

So - yes, definitely. The 2.2 is a Reactor 2, and the 3.5, 5.5 and 6.9 are all Reactor 1's.

Loving this idea!:thumbup:

Hey Jim, not trying botch a sale with ejmichael, but I am under the impression that the R1 is much lower performance than the R2 and R3... not 100% sure but I remember Angus saying he would hand a 1st gen Reactor to a beginner and not worry, but not so much with a R2. If thats not a deal breaker for you then no worries, but I thought you ought to know that before hand.

Thanks, Spencer! Appreciate you looking out for me. I'm planning this to be my low wind low effort cruising kite. After ripping up the beach yesterday with the 3.5m in 18 kts, my arms are begging for low winds and a big slow beginner kite. Begging, I tell ya.

Biddeded. Abkayak, are you humming or does that indicate you think this too good a deal?

abkayak - 23-10-2016 at 05:14 AM

Nahh...trying to fig out how to pay for it myself

soliver - 23-10-2016 at 05:57 AM

8.6 RII was one of my fav's... I bought Angus's big blue one and called it Cookie Monster and LOVED that thing.

Whoo - hoo! The 8.6 Reactor 2 arrived - absolutely perfect, brand spanking new. AND with a little lagniappe! Thanks for the heads up, Mark! Don - even better than I hoped - wow.
