Mantis parts...
Where possible, I've chosen to use materials that you should be able to find at any kite shop. This page is a list of the specifications for each part in your kite.
These charts only reflect the latest specifications for each model. Check carefully that the part I list is the same for your kite. If you don't see exactly what you need, or have any questions, send me a note at ken@bluemoonkites.com or call 828-221-0593
The full range of finished replacement parts, as well as unfinished tubes and fittings, is available.

1 posted standoff dimensions are the length of the rod only, not the finished part.
2 Nitro tubes can be cut at either end. I always cut them at the big end to customize the flex profile to the kite.
3 "PT" series tapered tubes should always be cut at the smaller end.
