PKD Century II 8.0m For Sale
Last kite up for sale. Split shipping CONUS.
PKD Century II 8.0m (RTF) from WELDNGOD $225
Beautiful lightwind kite that could be great given clean winds, but which does not handle terribly well in Pittsburgh. Slow turning, but with a lot of
grunt the few times I had it up in the air. Definitely better for people who have some more space than I do.
Pictures available on request.

Dropped some prices and decided to sell the Screamer RTF (no pump though). I'm lazy about laying them out and taking pictures, but if anyone's
interested I can get whatever pictures you want.

I think this viper is the viper s version if I remember correctly. Awesome kite. It actually worked decent in my inland wind conditions. I only
sold it and my 2.6 viper s to help fund my current quiver, however, as far as fixed bridle kites I have flown, this kite was my all time favorite for
all around use and I found it to be the most dynamic in terms of power delivery once you master it's unique flight characteristics. I true pilot's
kite that's well behaved enough to be useful in challenging conditions.

Fixed to specify it's the s version.
With all the great things I've heard about it I'm sad to let it go, but I really don't have the conditions to fly fixed-bridles and I can't keep
kidding myself. I hope whoever buys it gets to actually put it to some use.

I added a link to pictures of the 10m Epic Screamer now that I have someone interested in it. I'd love it if someone could help me figure out which
version this is.
I'm lazy about taking pictures, but if anyone's seriously interested in the Viper or the Century II I can get some pictures of them too.

Here's the product page for a new one: http://www.powerkiteshop.com/peter-lynn-viper-kite.htm
It shows the 5.3 is grey with green and yellow. A quick look inside the bag confirms this. I'd rather not ssayre's beautiful folding, but if there's
real interest for pictures I can spread it out and take some.

When I click the link I see this as 5.3. Maybe I'm missing sumthin here.

It's definitely a 5.3. I don't know if they had various colors in same sizes or not. I think they made same sizes of different colors, because I
have seen the red color scheme in 5.3 on the internet as well. This is going beyond the call of duty  but here is the pictures I took when I listed it on here.
and here is what it looks like if you want it to be your Christmas cards

That is the color scheme for the 6.7m Viper S. The 5.3m is deffo the grey green he is showing above, the older model of 5.3m Viper is mostly a kelly
green with a white and grey strip (same color scheme as the more current 2.6m Viper S).
Viper and Viper S are both killer kites. I have a 2.6m which I will never sell, its an awesome highland machine with awesome upwind capability.
SUUUUPER stable for sure. I used to own a 6.7m which was awesome as well. Many PL fans wonder why on earth they discontinued this line.
woodneers, you won't regret buying this kite for sure.
I'm going to take a nap now

I've got a car now and I'm not too far away so WBB is actually on my radar. Can't justify a whole set of kites for one event though.
Windstruck: You can trade your quiver for one of my kites :p

Top post empty (likely the one with the actual advertisement). You stand about as much chance selling you stuff at this point as you do trading with
me.
