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.

I thought I was close but.... I had the lower spreaders at 27"so I'll pare them down a smidgeon..the sail did seem a bit taut.   On of the sewn in standoff connectors is broken so I'll replace it with an HQ type when I find them.  New spreaders are Beaman carbon light 14's.  Frame is Avia so it's in the 96'-97' era.  Got the sail from Thiefand is rumored to have come from Sue at High Flyers,  never flown, stripped for parts.  Nice colors; white with 3 shades of blue.  Thanks for the info..
