Great Vid, Thanks for sharing

Hi MarshallPlacid ,
Have you been flying long? I found it took many hours on the lines to Start getting the hang of Quad.
I know I am not the fastest learner, But don't expect too much too soon.
Also have you watched all of the Videos that JB has done. Heaps of great tips in there.
Now for my personal experience.
I find that Using a vented kite in stronger wind is less "twitchy" than a Standard Kite in the lower winds.
But this is caused by a more continuous sail pressure, I think.
Keep up the practice, and experiment with different methods and setups.
It will come to you.

We Did It !!!!
With the Help of my Co-Flyer Rob, we got the Supersonic Stack Flying.
I think the wind was a bit light for it.
Most of the flight time I was moving backwards to keep them in the air.
It got very hard keeping the sails loaded, wind was too light.
When the Wind came up the Stack flew fast, but felt controllable.
I have not flown my Sonics in a while and I did not feel comfortable with them.
Lots of oversteer.
It will take a few flights to get back in the swing.
Rob did some great flying on them too.
Hopefully he will post about his own experiences

Hi QuadCrazy,
Great to hear you have been stepping outside the box and having Fun.

Hehehe...
Well I am fairly Heavy. But I used to do Kite Jumping and Free Traction Power Kiting, So I think I can handle it.
Besides Rev's are easy to depower and land fast.
-
Yeh, Thats the major holdup at the moment.
Hopefully we can make a nice big stack one day though.
After I get some more Skacking Lines.
-
Thank you sir...
Yep smallest at the front...
I also have a dream of stacking all of Rob's 1.5 sized kites with mine

Awesome Wayne!
Great to hear you are giving the Rev 1 more love.
What is the "trampoline effect"?
-
I would have thought Top and Bottom points all needed to be linked.
Perhaps I am crazy, but when I see kites that can be stacked, I want to try it out.
I have stacked my Progressive Vented Revs, and Rob has a sweet 2xSTD Stack (EXP & 1.5).
I want to fly the Rev 1 - Rev 1.5 - Rev 2 progressive stack one day too.
I have a Stacked train of 25 Single line kites.
-
Well Rob, if the wind is gusting over 25kmh, I was going to use you as my test pilot anyway.
I also need to make sure I bring my Landboard along too
It is a good thing I have a few sets then.
Good to hear it is a LE ratio thing, it makes sense
I am VERY excited to try these out.
Black/Purple/Gold and Blue/Pink/Gold will look nice together.

Hi all,
I am going to be stacking a pair of Supersonics soon.
I have several sets of Rev 1.5 Stacking lines, can I use these or do I need Longer/Shorter?
Is the 3 Wrap SLE LE going to be strong enough in the Front kite?
Apart from "hold on tight", can you give me any advice on flying a speed series stack?
Thanks in advance

What really counts as Street/Urban anyway?
What tight spaces are you flying in?
I fly on 30' or 50' when I want a quick set-up/pack-up.
But it is at a Park where I can easily fly on 120' lines and still leave room for two football games.

Awesome Wayne,
Thanks for sharing.
I like to mix it up, keep the old kites fresh.

Any Free time, is the best time to fly.
Wind or no wind.
Dawn and Dusk are great though.
Less people around.
Great to hear you caught some air Rob.
Sweet Pictures Bro,

Some Mad Kiter decided to Fly my Supersonic in low winds.
Caught him on Video...
What do you think?

Sweet Stack,
The Pilot can answer all your questions, I was just the camera man.

A while back Rob and I mucked about with some stacked Revs.
Here is a video we managed to get,
I hope you enjoyed it.

Hi Bro, sounds like you have your plan.
I started with the Standard 1.5B package deal.
Just like Rob says, if you can get the package deal Vented you will be set up nicely.
I got my Mid vent as Sail only.
Let us know how you get on

Hey Dude,
What wind range do you expect to fly in most often?

Hi Andy, I notice you are in Australia.
If you are near Perth, come fly mine and try them out.
