Didn't bother taking the board on this outing, just getting used to the kites again with some static flying.........LOVED IT!!!!! Right back into it now.
Got another couple of mates interested now as well after flying mine.

Pop down to the heritage centre and copy the white one they have,
its running Mk1 RS focus wheels/big brakes and a great rollcage. Never found out if a RS engine fitted tho.

I nearly bought one with full RS conversion mate. But then i would have 2 stupid turbo cars.
And yes the white one is the real deal
