Popular Post kwmf Posted June 6, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 For all those that feel the B2 is too fast or twitchy.... Wind was way past Xtra vent or Polo full vent, so I pulled out the B2 vented on 50' LPG 90# line with a 4-wrap frame ... strapped the GoPro to my head and went for it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwmf Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I could very well title that video LEMONADE .... The wind was ripping (way past xtra vent), the lines are short (check all the mistakes), the frame is (necessarily) stiff, the camera is head mounted (lots of shake) and the video editing package is weak, buggy and prone to corrupting your project. But you know what they say about being handed lemons Thanks for the encouragement, hopefully I can get a video with some decent flying out in the not too distant future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Steven, That was really nice..........I was at the coast this week, and a couple of days, I had all of my B2's out, at the same time. Standard, Mid-Vent, & Full Vent. Had em all staked out so I could fly each of them, and switch off quickly. That was really enjoyable. I also run the 4-wrap rods in the vtd sail, especially when the wind is cooking. I do use the regular B2, 11" handles, though.......... Standard - Black Race Rods Mid-Vent - 3-wrap Full-Vent - 4-wrap Again, very nice video........... B2's Rock My gang........... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmf Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 They really are a fun little kite with massive wind range and I think a lot of people overlook them (which is why we don't have the numbers to justify a pro model). Granted they're not as good for team as a 1.5 but for a solo pilot and/or if you already have a 1.5 set... They are fantastic. I also think they stack great and have my set rigged in a stack. The mid has everything attached all the time and I pull off the std and vent as needed. In solo form I use the same frame setup as you, in the stack I use 4-3-3 drom front to back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone in Shoe Bob Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I have an lot Rev II and don't fly it nearly enough, I should do but to be honest I tend to forget I have it, and I tend to fly a lot with others so usually end ul flying one of the 1.5s.

portlandflyer Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Once in awhile I borrow my sons' older Rev 2 and just rip up the sky!! But having just gotten a set of Pros, I'm spending most of my time getting adjusted to them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmf Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The 1.5 is the better all around platform and where I spend 90% of my time, but the fun of the 2 is often overlooked. My stack came into being so that I could do more with the B2 set I had so that they got more airtime. The set is both a stack and solo pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
