    Alyone else collect Spyders?

    The title is suposed to be 'Anyone else collect Spyders?'. I cant spell tonight.

    No not the 8 legged kind.

    So anyone else collect Spyders. Kingman bodies or not.

    All of mine are Custom bodies. Several have undergone milling and ano.

    Heres my collection. Only the completed stuff. Ive been collecting them for about 7 years now. I have another custom milled aka vlm needing ano and I have no funds.

    All the ones in the picture are functional. Just gotta swap airlines around. Most never get used anymore.

    Edit: heres a list of what they are.
    Top: Teal AKA VLM Spyder, Red AKA VLM Spyder
    Middle: Bad mojo Works/Rainman Custom BLM Spyder, G3PB BLM Spyder, Red/Black BLM Spyder
    Bottom: One-kitted Fbm Gothic Spyder, Punisher Customs "Bad Fishy" BLM Spyder, Blue/Black BLM Spyder (My first gun)

    BLM= Bob Long Millenium

        I like the design of spyders, but for some reason i can never hang onto mine long. I did like how the JT excellerators looked, even though those are just spyder clones.

              My step son has a pair both he bought new. one is a SE and the other is an EM1. The EM1's serial # is below 80 and has the direct copy 20 bps board that ICD brought litigation against Kingman over, both still work perfectly.
              Flying the unfriendly skies.

                    I used quite a few spyders back right after I started. Built a really nice milly at one point and sold it just a year or two ago. The fatty striker bodies lended themselves well to extremely low pressure operation, at least for the time.
                    I just sold my last personal spyder, still have a cheap knock off clone I won in a tourney that I gave to my son. He likes it well enough.

                    That is a really nice collection. Go show them off on Spyderea, or the Kingman group? Maybe show Otter...lol.

                      Could easily be that long for some. The last one I bought a couple years ago now. Before I bought them they had kind of disappeared.
