hyzakite 186 Posted June 8, 2016 Report I didn't realize the 1.5 rev came in mid vent until I saw this picture. It must be a very new kite. Quote
Wayne Dowler 2,005 Posted June 8, 2016 Report My guess is one of 2 things - 1. it's from Dave at the Kite connection, He has ordered so much stuff from Rev that they do make mids for him to sell through his shop. 2.- it's a special request. Throw enough money in Rev's direction and they will make darn near anything. The mid in an SLE is not a common thing for sale everywhere. Quote
KiteTastic 11 Posted June 8, 2016 Report It's from Dave at http://www.kiteconnection.com I believe there are a few color layouts in the 1.5 they only make for him. Both my kites are from him. I live about 20 minutes from his kite shop on the pier in Huntington Beach. Not sure if all Rev 1.5's are like this but I believe the sail is made with the same material as the B series kites. Quote
DeafThunder 166 Posted June 8, 2016 Report first time that I see the mid-vent kite flying that full sail man nice hovering, 1.5 Rev. Quote
Wayne Dowler 2,005 Posted June 8, 2016 Report pretty sure it is made from Icarex, not nylon. They went back and forth between materials. Should be a history on the Rev site from John Mitchell on all about Revs from beginning to about 2010. Good reading for those so inclined! Quote

hyzakite 186 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Now I kind of remember, I do have an SUL in this color pattern from KC. I just don't recall the mid-vent option. Quote
