CR Mesh Quad #500 Ticket

We're celebrating 500 kites by drawing a winner for kite #500! It's a CR 100 with a standard bridle, a P200 Skyshark frame and a kite sleeve. This kite was designed around the first kite that we made, with current techniques used. Each ticket buys you one entry into the drawing. Yes, you may buy multiple tickets. No, it will not guarantee a win!

The Compass Rose Mesh Quad was imagined into existence by Cath, who flew a Willi Koch mesh delta and said to Eliot "we HAVE TO put this on a quad! It would fly so well!" Cath built the first kite in January 2006 and the rest is history! 

Kite #500 will be signed by both the inventor (Cath) and the craftsman (Eliot) and will fly in anything from a moderate to high wind and is roughly equivalent to a traditional "full vent" quad. That said, due to the characteristics of mesh quads, the wind range will be wider than that of a traditional full vent. The low end of the range will mostly depend on your flight skills and the high end is going to be determined by how much pull you're willing to withstand. 

Fine print:
