[Hello & Thanks]

I have had my rev for about 8 months now and not flow it a lot but when I can. Today I went to Dunstable downs and had a great time, I saw another rev flying for the first time that wasnt my own (should get out more).

Bob came over and introuduced himeslf and along with the other guys made me feel very welcome.

Flying squad were there training and it was and experience to see and hear them doing their routine.

I have been reading a lot of the forum topics and today they made a little more sense seeing how others have set up their kites and fly together. I will certainly be getting up there as often as I can.

Thanks to everyone for making me welcome.

Wayne,

Don't sell yourself short. You did an excellent job, way better than you gave yourself credit for.

The idea of braking on the way down is important so that you don't overcorrect on the way back up.

Like Jeff said, spacing (no, not that kind of spacing!) in line is the key to a good looking follow. Much different than doing it on your own.

With respect to the other kites, pay attention to the kite immediately in front of you, taking a pause and then turning where they turn. I had the problem of being to anxious and would start my turns at the same time, causing me to turn under them, thus having to overcorrect. It has a tendency to screw up the others behind you as they are in turn using you as their reference.

The sense of panic is urgent if you're not comfortable in line. Trust of your fellow fliers is key. Everyone's been there and the longer you do it the easier it becomes to know how to bail out when there is a problem up or down the line. It all comes back to braking because the ability to slow down or stop in line quickly is key.

Get out there with Barb and go through it. See ya on the 24th for massive team fly with Brian at LSP!

--------------------

I have yet to get the opportunity of flying with others but hope to soon and am finding the articles on the forum very interesting.

Reading Wayne's comments has made me more determined to get it right

Looking at videos on youtube and other sites just make me want to do it more.

I have got some 120' lines on order but Royal Mail have them somewhere, hope to have them before i manage to meet with some other rev flyers. I am going to go to Dunstable Downs on Sunday 15th if the weather is good and hope I might get to see other revs in action.

New member and first Post, I have two 1.5 SLe's and a Baressi 1.5 vented. Dont get to fly as much as i would like and only have about 30 hrs time on them. Can hover horizontally and vertically but working on upside down. Having a great time learning.
