Aerochic Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hmmm. After looking around the forum and reading about so many members flying their new Revs and new fliers reporting their beginning flight experiences, I'm thinking we need a category for this somewhere if we don't have one already. So Anyway... I think I have to create a new avatar as I have a new favorite Rev!!! Purple Haze had her maiden voyage yesterday in beautiful 10-15mph inland winds with 3 wrap rods. I couldn't be more happy! She handled wonderfully and even made me look like I might know what I was doing! LOL. :? One of the things that struck me the most was how ~quiet~ this kite is. I was not hearing the normal wind sail noise that I've experienced with other Revs. Since I was having too much fun and am usually a solo flyer, I didn't take pics this time, but I will amend that. I have no doubt she's going to kick ass when I get her to the beach. Woo Hoo Hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldenMiller Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hey, you are missing some sail on that kite! That must be why it is so quiet! You would think with a name like purple haze it would be anything but quiet! Congratulations on your new aquisition! -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerochic Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 it's called a kite blog over on kitelife forum! write to your hearts content about your kiting experiences. True True, but I think everyone who starts flying or buys a new Rev(s) likes to have a little space to share their excitement here. It would be kinda fun to look back on some of these reports in time and see where it leads people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl actually turned down the idea of a blog on this rev forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I sure do like the looks of that kite!! The Aerovent.I'm very glad to hear she handles so well. How would you compare it's handling to a normal vented? This is getting confusing: non vent vent mid vent outside vent mid vent inside vent Aerochic vent EEeeek I want them all! And there is the max vent that looks like a spider web or a star. That look cool too but I like the "Aerovent" as far as looks go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't flown any of the midvents yet (and I'm mighty curious, believe me!), but I have flown vented BSeries and vented 1.5s. Since I'm not skilled enough to put my new rev through ~all~ of it's paces as I'm still learning myself, I have to say that I'm as happy flying mine as I was the other venteds. I felt it achieved the same type of smoothness I experienced with the others, tbh. Re the "Max Vent": is that what Flic was flying in Berck recently? http://www.revkites.com/forum/index.php?au...=si&img=479 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bri Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Had a fly with the new set yeasterday,firstly they do look stunning up in the blue.Realy standout. Flew the mid vent first in around 4mph to 10 mph,wind was a bit lumpy and i it did take a few minutes to get into the mid vent.Very nice indeed though ,but it is a vented kite.Which is cool,but i sorta didnt expect it to vent so much.Dont know why realy as its a little easier than the full vent and has more drive than a full vent.I would say more like a std non vent than a full vent as a comparison,with a sorta vented feel,,work needed at the lower wind range as ya can imagine,but not to much.Ther was something i couldnt put my finger on which was diffrent and it is a diffrent rev experiance thats for sure,reverse turns up i tended to fold the kite easy and it does look BIGGER.Probably the black makes it look bigger,who knows,may have been the wind makeing the turns harder than normal,but i will try again soon, Its A Tough Job,But I Will Struggle On Std kite was a real treat with race spars,top dog indeed.
