Diamondkites Veyron Aerostuff /// BARGAIN

Fri Aug 26, 2016 1:56 pm

Veyron Std from Diamondkites for sale, it's the Aerostuff version!
The kite was flown quite a few times and is in good used condition, but there are two little flaws:
1. One tiny hole that was repaired with glue (see pic 7)
2. The thin mylar around the stand-offs is tearing just beside the trailing edges seams, whilst the Icarex fabric is still fine (see the last 3 pics - you can barely see it). This could be fixed easily if necessary at all.

Beside these 2 little issues, sail/spares/connectors/bridle are good.
The kite flies perfectly, so you can still have lots of fun with the Veyron
For 125€ / 107£ you get a high-end trickster made of the finest materials, which might need a little rework at the mylar.

Looking for feedback as to what it would take to repair the mylar panels? Would repair tape do the trick, or is this something that would require more involved work?

Has the Anti Wobble Diffuser been serviced?

Might pay to check on that!

He hasn't been on since 3 September. Has he picked up your PMs? You can tell - if they're in your Outbox, he's not seen them. Once they're read they move to Sent.

This kite is not Krijn's, and judging by the fact the for sale post was removed also from Facebook, I'd guess the kite has been sold.
Thank you kindly,
Iftah.

Sorry I did not manage to answer everybody.
I got way too many mails here and on other salesboards and the kite indeed went quick.
Maybe I sold it too cheap ;-)
