Purchase: fiberglass, ripstop nylon, book

On a whim, I typed 'kite' in Austin's Craigslist search box and found what could be the purchase of the year:


  • 1- spool of black 100% polyester thread
  • 1- yard of bright green ripstop nylon (40" wide)
  • 1- yard of white ripstop nylon (40" wide)
  • 1- yard of royal blue ripstop nylon (40" wide)
  • 1- 3/4" diameter metal ring for attaching a bridle
  • 2- 4 ft. long flexible white fiberglass rods
  • 1- 4 1/2 ft. long 3/8" diameter fiberglass tube
  • 5- 40" long 1/4" diameter fiberglass tubes
  • 20- 11 1/2" long 3/16" diameter fiberglass tubes
  • "The Ultimate Kite Book," by Paul and Helen Morgan (retail $19.95)
I paid $20. WOOT!
