Hey all. My Bandit Dos 10m just had a close encounter of the tree kind. Is it worth repairing? It's a 2009 and I would need to replace an entire panel plus repair the leading edge and replace/patch the bladder. Kite has had a good amount of use but no repairs up until now. Any idea of cost to repair as I'm guessing I wouldn't get much for it and don't want to spend $350 on repairs only to sell it for the same amount. I can keep it for spares as I have an 8m and am on my way to pick up a B3 I tracked down new. Any thoughts?

send it to monti he will quote if all else fails it will only cost ya freight and a kite going is much better than one collecting dust in the corner of the shed too eventually get trown out one day

It cost me about $120 to fix a kite that was essentially split from edge to edge (no bladder damage though -can you fix that with tape?).

Take a photo and email it to moti Levi they can quote you and it's cheaper than sending a kite

Had thought of sending pics to Moti but the kite has had a few seasons good use. As well as the panel, the leading edge is shredded as is the bladder. Have just tracked down a new in bag B3 for a real bargain, so not desperate to fix this one as I'd just be selling it anyway. Anyone upgraded from a B2 to B3? Are they pretty much the same? Had heard a comment that the B2 had more grunt?
