kwmf Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I see kwmf as the clear winner for 2010. What a gentleman... I'll let you have it this year, I'm slowing down a whole lot .... or at least thats the plan anyway. I can only think of 5 at most that I would potentially get and most of that depends on how the B-2 turns out. No Pro series for me yet, at my skill level the cost vs gain just isn't justified - I think the money would be better spend on a trip over to the USA to spend time with people that can teach me to fly better.

When shall we expect you? Next weekend is the Treasure Island kite festival...always a good turnout of Rev flyers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahofer Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I acquired my first rev in July. The Twisted I got for Xmas made 10. Should get some sort of award for speed. Granted, I have three sons who like to fly with me, occasionally all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmf Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 excellent idea! When shall we expect you? Next weekend is the Treasure Island kite festival...always a good turnout of Rev flyers there. No such luck, but it is an idea I'm SERIOUSLY considering. I can fly a rev without crashing, hover in a pretty confined space, do inverted hovers and slides, etc ... so I think I just need to spend time with someone hands on to convey all those things that can't be picked up from videos and text. I'm guessing that those little things will provide masses of 'lightbulb moments' and seriously accelerate my abilities and also unlock the ability for me to learn easier from video and text. The exchange rate makes life a bit tough and I may be a bit limited on weight to bring all the Revs I may need, although I suspect I might be able to borrow some for learning purposes. On the bright side, I have a valid tourist visa from my 2009 trip so I wouldn't have to go through that process all over again. Any suggestions on kite events where I'm not going to battle for transport and acommodation and won't get charged the earth for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmf Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Granted, I have three sons who like to fly with me, occasionally all at once. Thats the reason for my extra set of B series revs - I want to fly with my girlfriend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartman Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 WSIKF. We had a good rate at the place we stayed for the week and if you are going to come over for a festival you might as well make it a nice big one like this is. You'll learn lots for sure. Can't help but absorb all sorts of knowledge at this event. Easily doubled my skill being there. Bart No such luck, but it is an idea I'm SERIOUSLY considering.

Scott_of_melnsct Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Any suggestions on kite events where I'm not going to battle for transport and acommodation and won't get charged the earth for it? As far as acommodation goes, we have experienced first hand that there really is a Rev Family. If you can get close, and make it known, you'll find people willing to help. As Bart said Washington State International Kite Festival (WSIKF) is an amazing gathering of Rev flyers, and all others as well. You might also consider Wildwood (WIKF...close initials but opposite side of the continent) There are lots of festivals; those two are among the largest and both have indoor flying as well which not all do, and I know you're intersted in. I say it would be worth it, because flying in a group is one of the most enjoyable and exciting things you can do with these kites. Come on over.

Reef Runner Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Totally missed the fact that there was another page of posts after aile_mt! New update: hyzakite - +20 (20) ** sirrom2000 - +1 (7) louiedogg03 - +1 (5) 2,400 Revs between 266 pilots! ** denotes new additions to the pilot list. Ok, that's 9.02 Revs per pilot ! Now John, that .02 rev, is going to be tough to handle. Do you think it can fly ??? I know that's a silly question. You could probably fly an 8 foot piece of railroad track, in a snow storm, blindfolded, with one hand tied behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
