fortflyer Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 How about a revamped Rev I, with "B" tweaks built in?I imagine it'd turn out to be one of the best SUL kites ever made. Just an idea, getting a reading from y'all. In Sydney now, on my way back from Red Bull... Home in roughly 24 hours. I've actually considered asking Lolly about that, Maybe in a midvent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebs1596 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 The Sedgwick Series has no "tweaks" per se... It's a Rev I with better panel layout (visually and aerodynamically), but the specs are effectively identical. I'm not at liberty to discuss the tweaks I have in mind just now, but suffice it to say, performance would improve. ahh now i see, i never really understood the difference between a b series and a sedgwick. The rev I would look pretty good in a B layout. then after a rev I b-series rev could make a signature rev II...just a thought though i would definitely order a rev I b series- might have to think of a different name for it or people might get confused when u say "i flew the b-series today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck3 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I would deffiently order a Rev 1 B-series too....Now that kite would be a great team kite.....Imagine a mid-vented Rev 1 B-series with Race-Rods? I would enjoy that very much..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi all, After the first day of decent wind in ages, I'm weary after 5 hours of flying revs today - I just love the feeling. I started with an hour on the mini rev, an then with great reluctance went over to the 1.5. The mini rev is just so much fun, pretty much indestructible. I was flying on standard handles and 50 ft 90 kg lines, far from perfect, but the baby handled it fine, Wind varied from 7kph to about 25 kph - again no problem. The cost if I had to but the goods would be less than R100.00 (aprox $10 US) without lines, or handles. The price of a Rev 1.5 SLE before the financial problems was over $3 000.00. Now unless you can get second hand, they are totaly unobtainable. There is no way that I'm going to get a new flier to start with a 1.5 - but if there was a baby rev, that should be quite different. Rev is really needing a fun, stater kite for the new flier.After the amount of fun that I had today, this is it. Now that I have played with the plastic bag, I'm doing a 4 ft rip-stop version. I think 4 ft should be just right - as it can go in most cars with a one piece leading edge. If it works I want at least three more, as trainers and as a train (stack). Oooh I think fun is on the way Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebs1596 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Rob, Chuck3's brother flies a 4 foot rev indoors and no wind days. it flies pretty well for what it is. I think the size si great once you get it tweaked right, then its nothing but fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the size si great once you get it tweaked right, then its nothing but fun I was flying it the other day in winds going up 35 kph, and I would be happy with it is much stronger winds - so they seem to do it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
