Well guys, some of you might have read the post I put up about line set up yesterday with my new Rev "B" Series. As suspected the problem was down to trying to fly in very low winds. I have been out and managed an hour and a half this morning before the clouds opened up. The winds were gusting from about 10 MPH to 20 MPH so I treid setting the "forward" lines on one of the middle knots after fitting the 3 wrap rods. This setting only necessitated one small change on the "forward" lines to reduce the power slightly. The kite flew like a dream! I have managed reasonable hovers, forward and reverse flights, side slides, reverse landings and launches, controlled spins tip stands, tip launches and controlled inverted flying. None of these manouvers are perfect by any manner or means, but on the whole I am delighted with the progress that I have managed in such a short time. Much of this has to be put down to the manouverability and quality of the Revolution B Series Kite, so now it looks like my Delta Stunt Kites might find themselves going into "hibernation". I would just like to finish by saying Thank You All for the help and advice you all gave me on the choice of kite!
