I used to fly these years ago but am no longer active and they have, cruelly, been sitting around in my loft. This is a selection of various sport kites from the 80s/90s which are probably now regarded as 'classic' and in varying states of repair, but I'm sure someone on here would love to have them. I am not sure about pricing but am only going by what i've researched on these pages and elsewhere and all include p&p for UK residents.
Here's a link to all the photos, sorry they are not in order, hopefully it's working: Kites
1) Joel Scholz, Sky Delights 'Neptune' fish kite No 429 , signed and dated Boxing Day 1991! Original and has been flown many times but is still in great condition with no tears, scrapes, seam splits etc. Sail could do with a clean and has stretched slightly. Not sure if the spars have been replaced over the years but all fittings are original. The only exception is the stand off sail fittings these have now degraded and will need replacing. With original bag. £95.00.
2) HQ 'Tramontana' No: 900238. Original first production in 1995/96 with green tips. Little used and therefore In great condition with original bag and ready to fly. Unlikely to find one this old in this condition. £60.00.
3) HQ 'Maestrale' 3/4 size kite. Original first production in 1995/96 with blue tips. Damaged repairable. Viewed as a baby Tramontana but completely different character obviously. Flew this more than it's bigger brother hence the damage! Tear across wing tip on left side as seen in photo, with original bag. Otherwise the rest of it is all good. £30.00.
4) Flexifoil 'Stranger Level 7'. Original first production (1997?) in brown and with original bag which was just plain ripstop with no branding. Good condition and ready to fly, if you can
, but has a small pin prick hole in sail (repaired). £60.00. 5) Highly Strung Kites 'Vulcan'. Early 1990's and highly unusual/rare kite by Aussie manufacturer. Huge 16ft wingspan kite. Ready to fly and has been flown a lot. A couple of pin prick holes (repaired). Originally sold without stand-offs but did have the sail holes for them so they have been added. Frame is lightweight fibre glass and not carbon. with original bag. Imagine a 12' Flexi with as much pull at half the speed and lots more noise! 300lb line required. £60.00.
6) Quadrifoil 'Junior'. Original 1990s 1 sqm four line soft kite. Probably flown just once (I preferred my Quad 2). Complete with line and handles. £40.00.
7) Action Kites 'NoNaMe'. Original 1989 3/4 size kite from Action Kites and one of the original 80s sports kites along with the Fire Dart etc. Well used and has had countless spars replaced. Originally they were lightweight fibre glass but it seems i've replaced them with a mix incl carbon. Should fly out of the (original) bag although could do with a bit of TLC. £30.00.
8) Powerhouse Kites 'Moonshot' (medium). Full size team kite, vented for stronger winds. Unused and therefore the sail and spars are in new condition with original bag. However the leading edge connectors have perished over time and will need replacing. I believe they were originally Air-Crafts parts and are still obtainable. £60.00.
9) 2 x ARC Reflex. A pair of very odd full size kites that never saw production but were being developed by someone. I can't even remember how I came by them. Good condition and ready to fly. £10 - just covers p&p.
10) 2 x 'Sky Claws'. A pair of orignal 1990s Sky Claw combined handles and winders. £10.
11) Box Kite - Not a sport kite but a bit of history. One of the kites used to set the record for the most number of box kites flown in a train in 1996. I think it was to celebrate Cody's centenary or something like that and they were all made by the famous Buffalo Box Kite Co from the US. Signed by those taking part and complete with spare spars. Might be of interest to someone. £25.00.
