Joe B Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was chatting about this with another member and now I'm curious. For those of you with a set of Revs... are they matching sets? For example, if you own a B-Series set of standard, mid vent, and full vent sails, etc... are they the same color scheme or is each a different pattern? Do you ever regret not matching things up, or do you embrace variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerochic Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I like variety, plus I can't afford a zillion Revs. So I prefer to have them in different cool color combinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Foster Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Our matching Rev sets. 1 pair matching SULs 2 pair matching standard sail. 3 pair matching vented. The SULs match one pair of standards and one pair of vented. Six matching sails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plod38 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 My first rev was second hand, so no choice in colour, but the next 4 were new Second kite was a B series full sail and bought Black and Lime Third kite was a B series full vent so also bought Black and Lime Fourth kite was a 1.5SUL, so guess what?? yep, Black and Lime Firth kite was a B series mid vent, and almost bought Black and Lime, but the Black Rainbow was calling me too much :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmeek Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 No matched Revs; in fact no matched kites of any kind. There are just too many color combinations out there to begin limiting myself to a single combination. That said, I do like yellow, and given a choice at the store or website, I will tend to pick kites that are yellow, or yellow in combination with other colors.

Reef Runner Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 MATCHING My first Rev was a 1.5 SLE. It was a gift, so I was happy with the color, it didn't matter My next Rev was a B-series Full-Vent (Black & Lime) [Alright, I liked that] My next Rev was a B-series Std Sail (Black & Purple) [For some reason, that kite just didn't look right in the sky(?) to me] My next Rev was a B-series Mid-Vent (Black & Lime) [Alright, now that looked more like it, again] My next Rev was a B-series Std sail (Black & Lime) [Voilà ! My set was now complete, and matching] Different strokes for different folks............It's definately a personal thing ! Do what feels right to you !

Morrunya Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 My sets all match. The vast majority of my kites are red and black. My Rev indoor and my rev 2 that I fly indoors have the same panel layout and colors. My custom full sail and full vent B's match, and my current set of B-Pros match but with different colors than the rest of my kites. I do have those outliers as well. But, yes I like my red and black matching kites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fungus Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 i've got a matched set of 1.5's but recent ones are mixed, altho my ZEN and B Pro are blue fade don't know whether i'll match in future fungus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebeatee Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Mixed....except for a hot Sedgwick 1 and 2 (like the one...1991...in timeline at top of page...). These were NOT bought as a set or meant to be a match or set....lucked out on the 2....so I`m not counting them as a "set" although they do "match". bt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louiedogg03 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Most of mine are matching. I also have a pink B-series standard and vented for the wife. Then the only 3 odd ball ones that don't match are my B2, My original SLE from '99 and 20th Anniversary Rev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 How sad am I I even buy the sets that match the team sets. I like flying Rev's so like to get a set myself so I can fly any time. Also it means my son has a set to use that the team doesn't subsidise. Simon of The Flying Squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I should clarify my previous response. When I said "Matching", earlier, I was referring to kites of the same model, such as the B-series, that are available in std, mid-vent & full-vent. As for completely different models, such as Rev I's, Rev II's, etc, the more variation (Mixed), the merrier !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Although I have 2 kites that are not R/W/B, I like my R/W/Bs,, I have 4 more 1.5 a 1 and a 2 R/W/B as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fungus Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 pic of my ZEN and B pro on gallery, i'm liking the blue fade idea, now thinking of mid and full vent to complete set, but i'll need overtime first to clear bills and then save up fungus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone in Shoe Bob Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wanted a mid-vent and ordered a custom because my colour scheme was discontinued and I didn't want to ruin a matched set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
