Cabrinha CO2 9m or Fuel 11/7m?
Having ozone fury 6m as first kite. Made the set up with climbing harness to hook in handles.
Now.. I want to buy one or two more kite so my brother and dad can fly with me. I need your opinion about these offers.
I found the used Cabrinha CO2 9m dart 2002 or 2001 model with two line convertible to 4 line.. come with 2 line bar/bag for 75$
Or..
slingshot fuel 2004 11m AND 7m kite along with two 4-line bar and one 5-line bar for 200$ (replaced bladders)
I am thinking of second offer because I want to go ahead learning control bar and depower but Fuel looks like it should be used on water only. Any
recommendation?

You want to stay away from old C kites.. Limited depower and poor range.. The Co2 belongs in the trash bin not worth $.02
the fuel is better but not for newbs and not for $200.. $50 at most..
Just say No to old C kites there cheap because nobody wants them

Access or Montana will be fine or any 2006+ Bow or Sle type Tube kite or any Arc Venom1 series or newer
It may be worth $200 for the bars alone if the lines are fresh and you can mod them into something you can use. Depends on what bars they are

I have someone locally trying to sell a 03 fuel for $500. I contacted them and told them I'd give them $100 for the bar and harness and they could
throw the kite because it's too dangerous. Well they didn't like hearing that because they paid over a grand for it in 03. They said someone that
thought it looked fun offered them $300 for it and I would need to offer more than that. No way was I going to pay that much for a bar and harness. I
explained the danger of that kite and how it could get kiting banned but all they wanted was some cash. I really hope they didn't sell it to that
newbie.
