One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

Nahh.

That looks clean, simple and snag-free.
Do you have a picture of the other side or with the cap off?
I don't understand how the line connects.

Its an HQ noch. The line is knotted at one end, fed through a hole in the noch, through the hole in the sail, and back to the noch where a knot is pulled over the groove to engage tension.

Works with the Blue Moon system also to cover the little pigtail that hangs off the back if that REALLY bothers you. Another benifit on any kite is it protects the tension line from abrasion during tip stabs, coin tosses, etc.

Almost always in stock at GWTW unless Denny has just bought a couple kites Wink
