 Fri Aug 11, 06 7:33 am 2007 Slingshot Fuel????? |
 |
|
| Does anyone know if there will be a Fuel for 07 and if it will be a C kite? After the "Bat Wing" emerged on this very site it seemed like everyone was saying there would not be a Fuel for 07 or that it would be completely redesigned. After listening to Tony Logosz on ASNews.net it sounds like there in fact will be a Fuel and that it will be a C kite. What's the deal? |

The scary part of mass manufacturing something that everybody is afraid may be a slow seller/reseller , is that you may have lots of inventory at the end of the year. This in turn locks up resources for more production and Quality employees. When sales slack off its hard to maintain the quality and improvements we have been used to. Do you think you all would buy C types if you knew you may not be able to sell them to the next generation of wankers. I am taking extra special care of my quiver because I can't get much out of them and I may not be able to buy C fuels next year  . |

I dont wanna say n e thing just for the fact that im not really gonna know what im talking about. There are 2 possibilities for the kite at this point. The end of this month, there should be a pretty good hype about the production model of the new fuel, so you will all know what it will be.
Kinda nice to know that sling is working on the kite as long as they possibly can to make sure its gonna live up to the name of "fuel". And no matter what tha kite ends up looking like, there is no doubt that we will all be pleased!
