beach Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well you guys got me here on color scheme and such and yes I can do just about anything if the money is right and lets talk colors so all of you know I see a ton of pretty kites but what a lot of people forget is that a lot of these colors are not made by the cloth manufactures so to get this you have to have them die the weight cloth you want in the color you want with a minium order from North Cloth of $1500.00 and a wait of up to 180 day turn around. As for panel lay out if you want to dream it I will have it done just show me what you want and then except the fact of what you doing will be very heavey because of stitching and extra colors weigh different so no if it does'nt fly like you think it should, but what I want to make very clear I will do what you want done and it will be done correct and my reputation on that fact stands on it's own....... What I'd prefer is that we as a team work on the project and you trust my ideas and know that they work cause if I'm doing it I've already made the protype and it works, all that needs to be understood is that it takes time if I have to have cloth died and money but I want you to be a part of the whole thing but please include all the needs done, 1 different color centers must be run if thats what you want and not all color inks work on this material and the printer needs his share of $ so it cost extra and include print time 2. There are no pattens to work off of so they must be created then the cloth cut, once again extra money for the sewers. 3. More time to sew because of the panel lay up, extra $ again for the sewers time. 4. Back cutting the panels more time again and you guessed it more money cause the workers need to be paid...5. Then the big one my headaches but thats free cause I live for this stuff............. But if you have an idea and want to put it together I'm willing, you just need to know it cost both $$$$ and time, so with that said the balls in your court and if you want it I'll make it happen.

Baloo Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Ben, you got to admit though there are some NEAT Revs apearing on here. I think most of them are probably "mind" Revs that most understand are too difficult or expensive to do, although as you say, throw enough money at it and almost anything is possible. Nothing to say that it will fly well though. You never know mind. Next years colour layout might be as a result of a setup from here. Keep them coming folks. I specialy liked the Seasonal Stack.

beach Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 You are so right keep them comming cause you never know I may borrow your idea, but most importantly remember these pages are for all of us to work on ideas and such and even to blow off a bit of steam every so often.......

big bri Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I dont like the above Kite,the coulors are gerish,its probably the UGLYEST QUAD IVE SEEN,includeing yours DEREK[Wuffer].To use Steves own words,Its Not My Cup Of Tea. BUT Steves Good Lady made the kite from second rate SCRAP pieces that where given to her.So they didnt choose the coulors,its what they just had and i think its ther first atempt at a Quad or second.I certainly couldnt put the Kite together myself.I can also confirm it flys AMAZEINGLY WELL. Bravo mate,THE CRAB,by Pudders ,who owns several Revs BTW. BRIAN...ps,Its a quad NOT a Rev.Ther is a diffrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnmitchell Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well you guys got me here on color scheme and such ...snip ... Excellent information! The original idea of this thread was to stay within the panel layouts from REV. Even with these colors we, including me, have come up with are simply not on the market. They must be created, as Ben says; it costs lots of money extra. Revolution presently has three panel layouts for the 1.5. The EXP, SLE and JB. With these panel layouts alone we can come up with some really neat REVs. There are two or three older panel layouts for the 1.5 which I presume still exists. Is a new panel layout needed or is this sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Not sure about your Colour choice on this one Wufer. Had to put on my Rose tinted glasses. You certainly are becoming a prolific kite builder. Still think your US UK one is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bri Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Me cheeky Derek,Never . Steve knows i dont like his kite and we nicknamed it the Crab.It reminds me of a creature in SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS.I hope you and Steve never fly them together.I wouldnt want the coulors to clash . Great work Derek.Keep the ideas comein. FOOD FOR THOUGHT. BRIAN... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrunya Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Here are my ideas. The first one would be a rev 1.5, and the second would be a rev 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to say that it will fly well though. You never know mind. Next years colour layout might be as a result of a setup from here. Keep them coming folks. I specialy liked the Seasonal Stack. Baloo how right you are, You must also realise how the changing of panel layout, once in production run on a kite, seriously effects wastage from the cloth when you are cutting out 500 kites. Cloth price is now extremely expensive and the number of colors are disappearing. It may seem to all of us an easy change. Now compond that change in $. There are so many things that need to be worked out. It's a little like changing the course of an oil tanker...possible, but it takes time to stop and change direction. Well, Congratulations! it is being discussed and it is the actions of this forum that are bring it about. So well done everyone. Keep em coming. The tanker is slowing down and the new course is being decided. Rev/Ben/Lolly/Joe/Dave do listen....and it will happen...is happening Keep thinking and talking and sharing. The product is made for you, the flyer. Oh and for those of you not on race rods......WAKE UP! Bazzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a Rev and getting to know so many great people in the kiting community has been one of the major positives in my life this past year. From what I heard panel layouts will remain unchanged. For the JB, John mentioned in some thread, one color scheme will be dropped, I forget which, and will be replaced by teal/black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Already done, TEAL took over for LIME a couple months ago. Those limes are practically a limited edition now. Just waiting on pics of the teal from Rev, and I'll update the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
