A rare find indeed, I am selling my entire collection of GREENS Stratoscoop Kites, a total of six stratoscoop kites can be found in my ebay listings, look for all of them, This listing is only one of six kites I have on Ebay.Up for auction in this listing is the STRATOSCOOP #3, Has a beautiful Japanese Red Sun with Blue Wave Pattern sewn into the underside design. With a lifting capacity of 4.5 Kilo's, requires about 115lb test paracord line to fly this kite. kite has been stored since the 1980's and does have mold stains in the ripstop nylon, no tears or damage though, Size is 180cm X 150cm ( 5.9ft X 4.9ft ) square with 12 cells.
Something to consider with Greens Stratoscoop kites, they are a truly impossible puzzle to figure out how they had sewn all 12 inflation cells on their kites "FROM THE INSIDE !!!!!", I had tried to solve this puzzle for years and never found the answer, Greens Kites went out of business in the late 1990's and the original owners have passed into Kite Heaven, so no one has figured out how they made a "Jalbert Wing" design with a closed front - Sewn from inside. All parafoil designs today have an open front wing that drags on the airfoil and causes diminished lift. The Stratoscoop design is like an aircraft wing!, and has a powerful Lift. NO ONE IN THE KITE WORLD HAS EVER FIGURED OUT HOW TO REPLICATE THE STRATOSCOOP DESIGN EXACTLY LIKE GREENS KITES - They are truly a lost art!
This is one of six Stratoscoop kites I am selling on Ebay this week, smaller and larger ones are in my other listings, please look for them there, all auctions are ending on the same day.
