Morrunya Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 That sounds like a gentle warning. Regarding the the 1.5JB series. My experience so far show me that the std 1.5 is more precise ( in my limited control at the moment) that the Rev 1. So is the 1.5 JB series so, so, much better? Is it better to learn on the best rather than the standard? Most interested to have your opinion. I would have to say that it is good to learn on the best. It took me a very short time to teach someone how to fly a rev on a b-series than a 1.5. Saddly, I have no new kites to speak of . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfielder Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 1.5 SLE Std 1.5 SLE Vented 1.5 SUL Rev 1 Rev 2 EXP x2 Indoor Supersonic Blast That would be 10. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteLife Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Okay gang, I've updated the list of owners and # of kites, found in the first post of this thread... Does someone care to count 'em all up, for a current tally? How many people, how many kites. Post me back some numbers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csadeadon Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Sadly, I own only one Rev. A relic is really what it is. But the old bird will still fly with the best of them. She's been flying since 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooNPooN Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 im curious how someone has enough money to own over even 10 revs, john, you own 59! wtf? Hi All.Just a thought. Does anyone (at Revolution, or anyone else) have any idea just how many Revs are out there? I'd never even SEEN one before I caught the kiting bug, but reading this forum regularly makes it obvious they're all over the planet and have been for, what, 20years? Anyone even hazard a guess at the total? Fraser ============================ Total count (updated 9/19/07): 719 Revs between 57 pilots, for an average of 12.61 Revs per person! ----------- *list is updated on occasion, the last post included in totals is #203 in this thread, by kitedog. *total count per person should reflect kites actually in possession. *do not edit list - tended by administrators.

johnnmitchell Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 im curious how someone has enough money to own over even 10 revs, john, you own 59! wtf? This is the other John. Over a period of 17 years I have collected my REVs. I acquired mine in various ways: - some are bought. - some are sponsored. - some are gifts. - some I made. I never had enough rods for all of my REVs to be assembled at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyspecial Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Does a progressive stack count as one or three? add acordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Does a progressive stack count as one or three? add acordingly I would consider them three. They could be flown separately, even without bridles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrunya Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 im curious how someone has enough money to own over even 10 revs, john, you own 59! wtf? There's something wrong with that list there. I have 3 revs. Do min revs count? If so then I have four! You must remember Chris that John has had 20 + years to get all those.

fortflyer Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well add 1 more to my already overstuffed bags, a never flown 1.5 vented in very loud blue yellow and pink color scheme courtesy of my pal Doug Cotes at a very sweet discounted price.

jburka Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hmmm. Actual Revolution revs? a 1989 Rev I ("patent pending") in pink and purple, signed by a couple of Hadzickis a 1991 Rev II in cool rainbow an SLE from the first year they were produced a B-series (the vented is on order and I should have it next weekend...but it doesn't count yet!) a one-off Bazzer 1.5 that was commissioned on my behalf by my best friend Funny, given how many revs I have and how often I fly them, how few are "real" (I usually have an SUL and a vented II in the bag, as well as an icarex 1.5, and that doesn't count the bunch of rev II sails at home, or the 3 IIs I once lost in an airport!) As for how it's possible for someone to own more than 10 revs, well, it really isn't that hard. For instance, even 10 b-series revs won't cost nearly as much as a full-size Peter Lynn show kite!

Baloo Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 If it is "The Kite" well done Kent. Looks like Ben was after it as well.
