Bravo Bravo.... Thank you for the videos, as usual, i love the costumes. And if i may, you maybe can upload them on a web server in big quality. (i can help you if you want) Thank you again, A big fan (Alex)

Hi Doug - as you've seen on my site - im not the only one to use rev stacks and each person has his own recepe. Personaly i have a 3 and a 5 revs 1.5 stacks, custom home made with chrismass wrapping paper and tape - and i use tails made of the wrapping rubbon (it's light, cheap and looks great)- i use custom long handles but normal rev handles work fine too (i have both). -The lines are normal team lenght 35-37meters (120 feet) like any european teams (English french and german teams i flew with have more or less the same size - japanese teams Aile and Nest have shorter lines, as i remember (25m i guess) spanish, portugese and italians fly with 35- 37 as i remember (i dont know about Amercan team but just iquad ! - so it's easyer when you have the same lenght - you can fly with everybody in all the festivals without thinking about your lines. the english team "the Flyingsquad" flyes with up to 6 stacks of 7 custom made rev II kites (made by revolution) (they use 4 kites when the wind is strong) with 120 feet lines and ripstop tails with lots of coulours (custom made by steven Matchett - he told me that it was a hell lots of work) - they are totally amazing and are very easy to fly even if some people think they pull a bit when the wind gets stronger - i dont have more details Between the revs i use 1m20 lines (half of the lenght of the rev) but you can try other solutions. Anyways, like any other stacks, the kites are slower and they pull a lot - i have used mine to ride a buggy without any problems - but its not as efficient as a good modern sail - but it is a little different from flying a single revolution kite alex
