JMZ Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've been digging around and haven't seen a single Rev without screen installed between the leading edge and the sail. Even photographs of the Neos Omega show screening; seems like this was a very early early design decision that has never changed. Has anybody ever tried mounting their leading edge to their sail without using that 1 inch wide ventilated panel? What differences did it make in the kite?

steveb Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The Indoor Rev has no screening on the LE; neither do the Speed Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highflyrA Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The Indoor Rev has no screening on the LE; neither do the Speed Series. Our dear friend, Rick Rondinone, who has since passed away, made gorgeous "art" Rev's and never used screening or a bridle and they flew great.

awindofchange Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The Blast, Power Blast 2-4 and Power Blast 4-8 don't use screening either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairusan Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 This topic comes up from time to time around here. This thread has lots of details about the reasons behind the leading edge vent mesh: http://www.revkites.com/forum/index.php?sh...295&hl=mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
