Anyone have a Talon 6 kit they would be willing to sell?
Any idea why it's OOP? The Talon 4 still seems to be available...and it is a sexy beast indeed! If I ever go L3, Talon 6 was how I was hoping to do it, and those cheesecake shots slay me every time I see them!It has been a few years since they publically sold one. The last one I know was sold was after they had sold out. I think the buyer contacted them and they agreed to make another. I thought about buying one when I bought my sledgehammer and I have not seen them listed for sale since.
There you go. Pretty good chunk of change but looks to be of excellent quality. KurtCould contact Hawk Mountain and get one in fiberglass-

This kit comes with more than a "box of dusty FG" that you get from other vendors:There you go. Pretty good chunk of change but looks to be of excellent quality. Kurt
That's an impressive list of addons, I'm glad you enumerated them because I about near plotzed when I saw the $1600 price tag! I think the GL version was just shy of a grand?This kit comes with more than a "box of dusty FG" that you get from other vendors:
All fiberglass 6" airframe. Length 12`9", 98mm fiberglass motor mount, fiberglass piston system, 0.187" fiberglass beveled fins, Electronics bay with machined aluminum bulkplate and ejection charge holder with two key switches, SkyAngle Cert 3 XXL chute with Pilot chute and aluminum motor retainer.
The chute, pilot, and motor retainer are well over $300 in value as it is. All you need to add is electronics, a motor, and epoxy. Alan gives great service, as well.
On the GL website I saw the $924 price: kit + many free addons...I'm not sure but I think this is with the "Magna-frame" GL tubing.That's an impressive list of addons, I'm glad you enumerated them because I about near plotzed when I saw the $1600 price tag!

Is that reflected in the price? If the parts are lacking or different I'd think that would be reflected in the cost? KurtLast time I emailed Hawk mountain, their kits no longer come with the aluminum parts.
Message Alan.Is that reflected in the price? If the parts are lacking or different I'd think that would be reflected in the cost? Kurt
lol. Email Alan.You could also Email Tim @ Wildman's and see if he'd do a 6" or even 8" Eagle Claw. I'm pretty sure he's done a 6" already. It's not a Talon, but close...

Hawk and Giant Leap are the originators of the Talon design that go way back. Surely one can argue that you can cut a four-sided fin only so many ways...the Talon design is quite unique. I encourage anyone interested in that design to buy the original. Maybe WM got permission as long as they changed the name, idk.?
