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.

Lee...what's this one?

That's a Wind Whip UL.

They are similar to a Bad Boy at about .90 scale. It looks odd in this picture due to tilt & POV. This particular kite came from the Sunnyvale home for underflown old skool kites. :-)

Oh Mr Carter,

Oh, sad, sad Mr Carter,

You have officially now owned way too many kites. That is in fact an AirZero, made by X-Kites, of Soquel CA, Peter's old company, or one of many I had forgotten myself, so I had to go look. As your punishment, you must now send me a Vanishing Point of your choosing.

p.s., for those outside this inside joke, that's one of Allen's old "extra" kites.

Well, there's a reason my feeble old brain spit out WindWhip UL, but I had to go back to 2005 email with Peter to figure it out.



>>I have a couple of questions about an AerZero I picked up recently.

Of course the sail is marked AerZero, not Wind Whip, so someone had messed around with the frame. With specs from Peter I put the frame back the way it should have been and the kite was back to around 5oz. Nice kite.

(WW & AZ have the same size sail)

So, yes I have had too many kites. But at least there was some reason for my confusion. This time.
