  1. I'm not overly fond of the required extra input needed due to twists myself, I prefer a more direct connection with my rev.

    Anything that helps one leard a skill is great, but I think it was Bazzer who said to me the best way to hide a weakness was to practice until the weakness is no longer there.

    I'm witchew on those twists!

  2. Yea, bidding against Ben is tough!!!

    Ben doesn't have to bid, he's getting 8 free kites out of this deal so far, unless other artists jump in with their 2 kites, actually, Ben would have to bid and win 1 kite to have the complete collection, that kite being the duplicate of the kite that is choosen by the top artist that goes to AKA, but that would be kinda like inside trading.

    Are you sure these artists are going to make 2 each? I sure would have been more eager to jump in on the bidding if it was One-Off kites being made for this challenge.

  3. Sorry Ben let me try to get some of this idea straight, The artists are going to sell their kites by auction. The artist who's kite sells for the most money gets all the other artists proceeds from the sales. And when all the kites get sold to different people,, Then the top artist is going to take a kite from away from someone that just won the kite and donate it to AKA,, OUCH!!!

    I feel sorry for the person that just bought a Masterpiece kite just to have it taken away from him/her by the winning artist.

  4. Stop! Take a few steps back. Best thing to do is take a ride to where people are flying these kites. You know what the 1.5's feel like. Check out a B2, take one for a test ride. I brought out a B2 and a 1.5sul today. First time since 2011. WOW! It was fun tossing that B2 around, in what wind? I think you might take the B2 as first on your list over what you've flown in the past, after 1 test drive. Still boils down to 1 is never enoughsmile.gif

  5. question 3, how does one measure, 100' tape measure should get you to 85',, if you don't have a tape measure walk it off, a pace is 3' 29 paces will get you close enough to 85'

    question 4, wrinkles, if they are wrinkles hose the kite off and let it dry, if it's creases, those are probably there forever. if the kite goes back in the sleeve every time treat it like wrapping your most special christmas gift to someone.

    looks like all the other questions was answered.

  6. I wouldn't worry about the mylar too much, I've seen rev's come in all kinds of diameter sleeves, the newer red colored sleeves could almost hold 2 1.5's. Just fold over the leading edge loosely after you tri-fold the kite and just keep flipping rather than rolling so the kite is more of an oval going into the sleeve and not round shape going into the sleeve. Seems to work great for me especially with the wider sleeves.

  7. I noticed on my ferrules one is hollow all the way through after poking through with a smaller rod, the other ferrule is hollow down to 2 1/2" then solid, maybe it's glue, now i have to drill it out or it will bug me the rest of my lifeunsure.gif

  8. Also cause I know this is all a pain how about we award $25.00 of Rev Bucks for each

    video disc we get in, just want to sweeten the pot and so you have a reason to give

    the shop a call and get some new stuff..... Ben

    This is the greatest news I've heard in months! I just bought 100 dvd blanks for $20. I'll put 3 minutes of video on each one and send them to you all at once, Instead of the 100 X $25 Rev Bucks just send me the $2500.00 worth of kites.gathering.gif
