  1. the issue is.. I don't know how to do most of the maneuver. And anything inverted, is out of the question. can't even do an inverted hover yet, let alone slides. even an upright slide! LOL!.

    Come see me Exile. I'll get you inverted flying in 30 mins.

    Just do what I say and stop thinking is all I ask.

    Offer stands for anyone else there also with problems with inverted flight.

  3. I'm adept? Thanks. I consider myself a hack!

    I have issues with reverse flight, but it's not a total write-off. I can't do it without thought which I'd like to but I can do it. Mainly it is not always perfectly level or consistant speed and sometimes I over control and flip a tip out but it isn't stopping me from moving on. I practice reverse flight every time I go out and in different orientations. This year at WSIKF I am going to observe under the smoother winds and then pick more brains to see if I can ge the rest of the kinks out.

    Transitions are coming along good for me. Not all over the sky when I do them now so one more baby step.

    I might have to sit out your 9 x 9 grid cartwheel!

    Your no hack Bart!

    A word of advice to anyone trying reverse flight.

    A vented kite reverses easier. Bart is lucky enough to own a Xtra vent. It is the easiest kite to reverse fly.

    If you can hold a side ways hover on two middle fingers(ie not have the kite running forward) Your brake setting is correct.

    that is a good general rule for set up each time you fly.

    To much forward on the kite will mean larger wrist rotations which lead to bigger mistakes and over corrections.

    When turning corners on a horizontal ladder in reverse remember you are switching from one side ways hover to the other whilst travelling. So your hands must change from one hover to the other during the corner.

    Travelling rotations are clock work while traveling. Focus on the middle of the kite and keep tension on all lines. AGAIN if you are running to much forward it is more difficult.

  4. Just a quick public post to thank Ben, Bazzer, Lolly and anyone else involved for solving a problem quickly and efficiently. I am pleased to have received my racegreen xtra vent on Friday. Thanks for your care and attention. Showing Rev to be a helpful and trustworthy company.

    Your welcome Tommy and thank you for your patience:blue-cool:

  6. I haven't had my revs long enough to know, so forgive the daft question .... Do the venteds not suffer the same problem or is it just a pain to put wear strips on the venteds?

    The mesh on the Mid Vents and Full vents absorb the vibration and scuff during flight.

  7. Hi Ben,

    Are these "compulsory" mods? Given a choice, could I opt for future BPros not to come with these vertical strips? Just curious as I still prefer the look of the kite without the vertical strips.

    Thanks

    Darryl

    Hi Darryl,

    The Standard B Series Pros will all have these strips on them.

    They are not on Mids or Vented.

    If you wish for your kite not to have wear strips please make it known on your order.

    I will more than happily make you a kite that will wear out quicker.

  8. True dat. The computer can say what it wants, I'm gettin' my fly on!! ;)

    This chart might come in handy for anyone who wants to make a guess at the wind speed:

    Although reality will best tell what the conditions are, I still have use for the weather programs. I'm a "right kite for the job" kind of flier, hence I have multiple Revs, and several kites in general. However, the closest place I can fly is a 25 minute walk. Also, I usually fly alone. I like to check the weather so I don't have to carry $1000+ worth of kites with me just to make sure all conditions are covered. Can't leave Revs in the hot truck, otherwise I'd drive....

    Embrace some technology :lol:

    Ok maybe a little

  9. After seeing a real Zen, I noticed that the vertical panels are 1 solid piece. The colorizer shows that panel as being 2 separate pieces, as it would apply to the B Series (my pic "2" where the red arrow is pointing).

    Is it possible to have a Zen made with the outermost vertical panels split into 2 pieces like on the B Series? confused_1.gif

    No Your fine design away.

    Have fun

  10. Was it? Maybe you're right..........no, don't think so.

    I was first...............perhaps not the best,,,,,,,but the first.

    Hey, flying together is one of the best things that has happened to us as a couple.

    Flying together and with our friends is truly "Golden Time". Come jump in line. ;)

    #7 is ready!
