johnnmitchell Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 is 150# line good for stacking 3 1.5s ? timmyz That would be better for the flying lines then the standard lines. The train lines would be okay at 150# also, however 80# would also be okay on a three stack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work, however bridle line is bit a better.. The knots stay better in place with bridle line, compared to the more slippery Spectra lines. You can even put sleeving over you 90# or 150# lines. That has the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepigeon Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 ive got a few stacks and on a three 150lb is good. stack lines from rev are ok i would make them 4ft long except for last kite bottom lines make 1/4 inch shorter i say 4ft because the stack lines from rev are for rev 1 and rev 1.5 is smaller with shorter lines you wont have as much tracking Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awindofchange Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Rev stack line sets come in 4.5' and 5' lengths. They also have a special set for the Speed Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyz Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Rev stack line sets come in 4.5' and 5' lengths. They also have a special set for the Speed Series. thanks kent, on your web site it says 4.5' are for the 1.5s. i have 2 sets for my current 3 stack and they seem to work fine. i just ordered another kite (mid vent) and stacking lines from you and now im trying to get as much info as i can about stacking. i also ordered 150# line for stacking , 90# seemed to be too stressed. not too many kite flyers in pittsburgh, let alone rev flyers. any time i fly, i always have an audience. now with stacking, i want to look cool and not like a fool. im trying to practice as often as i can. thanks tim from pittsburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
