aai Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi my first try at 5 stack on Monday 3 Bft 85 x 150lbs lines I did a 6 stack today but felt more comfortable with the 5 stack. During the first attempt I used the standard 13" Rev handles. Today I used the extended 15" versions handles which gave me more overall controle. I fly with 6 stack lines.

West Australian Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sweet, thanks aai I thought you might be Rob. A very similar set of kite types. I would love to stretch mine to 5 or 6. I would put another VTD B at the front, and another STD and/or MID. Maybe one day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 At one time Revolution made some longer handles(about 16-17") wrapped with carbon fiber exclusively for stacks. I had one pair but long since parted with it. You might give Lolly a call and ask her about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flt101 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 It was 2001 with Lee Sedgwick's stack of 28 Rev 1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aai Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 wow 28 x Rev 1!! is there something on youtube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flt101 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 There are some pics from Windstar Kites in PA, if you go to Rev's main site / find a store / go down to PA - Windstar Kites on pg 13. It's where I saw it. Did they have youtube back then? I didn't have a pc back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Australian Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 OMG! That is cool... I wonder if he did a catch and throw with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Great pictures Thanks! http://windstarkites.com/Photos13.htm If I recall correctly the hot REVs in the front are from Lee. The cool Revs in the middle are from Lee's late wife Sue Taft. The Asymmetric REVs in the back are from Sam Ritter.. I do believe Sam is about twice as big as Lee. I wonder why Lee was flying them.

Robtulloch Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Very interested in your developments. Make sure you update on how the long handles go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hoath Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Rev IIs work really well in a stack. Sometimes we join them together and make these beauties. Team flying is really fun but believe me, 5 minutes is enough! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aai Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Looks great Stephen, I will look into the B2 since the Rev II is no longer in production as far as I know. André Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
