I gave a Slingshot GTO 7m, I don't think many were sold in this country. I'm curious as what you plan to do with them, they were super low-aspect C kites with a pretty small wind range.

Hi Simon,

My favorite kite is a 2005 fuel. I use it up to 30/32 knots (with 13 m lines), above it's hard to hold on to it and I was looking for something smaller and with a slightly lower AR and the GTO would be perfect.
(Small range is not a problem, I use fixed lines and mostly do downwinders-

Yep Simon is right, very few, particularly in the small size's, were sold in NZ. There's a 5m last sighted in Tauranga and a couple of 7m's somewhere.
Was definately a fav kite amounst the fixed liners back in the day.
I do have an 11m and a 13m GTO if your interested.
Also a few New older Fuels.

I saw one (GTO 5) on Trademe.co a few weeks ago (in Auckland) but the auction was closed already

@ Gavin: let's see what you have, please PM year and size. Thanks
