So this long running forum nearly didn't survive its software upgrade the other day. Many hours later I managed to rescue it. Not that its terribly busy but it remains an excellent resource for Rev pilots! Cheers,

Many of you will have seen the NEEW Eagle kite on Facebook, but, yhe product page and info page are now live, and the kite is ready for pre-order! https://revkites.com/revolution-eagle-raptor-quad-line-kite/ For an introduction to the kite https://revkites.com/product/revolution-eagle/ To place your order. Also worth noting, 2020 brings new colors to the Revolution Spider RX and Super Spider RX! https://revkites.com/product/revolution-reflex-rx-super-spider/ - Super Spider https://revkites.com/product/revolution-reflex-rx-spider-web/ Spider Thanks!

Hey all, just as a quick note, Joe graciously let me get my hands on the new VERY vented Reflex (tentatively called the Super Spider Web at this point) while we were down at Rich Comras's memorial party. This kite should be available pretty soon and damn, it flew well. It kept up to any other very vented kite out there and pull wise, it's roughly about the same amount of pull as the XTRA vent. I'll get some pictures and a better review soon but, Joe and I also talked about a mid vent Reflex as well! I sent Joe back with a few tweaks to this new kite, so, hopefully it will ready to go soon! Quite a handful of people took it for a fly and they loved it. Other things on the go over the next while, We're going to redo the Rev store site entirely over the next few weeks, and at the same time, we will roll the forum back over to the same site. An unfortunate bunch of missteps caused the separation last year and I am looking to fix this. The forum URL will change slightly to match the .com site however, that will be it as far as the forum goes. (I may undertake to dress the place up a little bit too!) thanks all!

Hey there, pending getting some official info from Revolution regarding KTAI this year, this is just a quick update on new kites for 2017. I"ll add pictures to this post once I get permission from John Chilese to post them here. The 1.5 sized Reflex is now done and ready for ordering. Basically the same tweaks (and a couple of new ones) as the original Reflex, just shrunken down in size to the 1.5 form factor. I've had one since before Christmas but, I haven't had a chance to fly it yet and it's driving me kinda crazy. No really. I do promise to write about it once I DO get it out for a fly. There's also a very vented version of the 1.5 Reflex as well, which has been referred to as the Spider. There's been a few videos of the Hadzickis testing it outside the shop, with a pickup truck. And finally, the Rev 1.5 Classic to help people when they want the true 1.5 "thing". Nearly identical to the earlier ones from last year, with a few tweaks as well. Folded in leading edges like the pro, and a set of Reflex verticals as well as non sprung ones. Judging by the pictures, there's also some pretty amazing Masterpiece kites available.... thanks everyone, more info as I get it.

So for the last few days, I have been dealing with issues centering around upgrading the forum to the current version. This is now all set to go and sometime this week I'll do the upgrade, likely late at night. Just an FYI should you see errors messages and such. It looks to be pretty painless and it will put this forum on the same level as the kitelife one. I'll repost to this thread once it's complete. thanks,
