  1. 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. :)

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

    WA

  6. 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.
