Sad news from France. Roger and Tessa have decided to pull out of the dual line market: 25 years old! Captain Tricks, Major, Feeling, Cyrius, Histrion, Eden, Maya, Queen Maya, Frezy, Opium, Nirvana, Jordana, Krystal, KFX, NFX, Hobby, Essenciel, Fifteen, Krystal, Shooter, Blvd 'X, Shift, Bird' X, Unik, Next, K07, NSE, Manga, NFX Sport, Wao, Initial, Toxic, Extend, Diablis, Vision, Still, KSE, N3E and all their wind declinations. Bars, Icone, R-tube, accessories... 25 years of projects, creations, design, competitions, challenges, 25 years of victories, emotion, passion, 25 years of sharing and happiness with you! Today the kite is different, we helped it grow, we helped it build itself with all the energy that characterizes us. But the challenges have moved away. The lack of motivation, enthusiasm, the general level down, the desertion of riders, non-existent manufacturers, mass closed shops, a federation not very inclined to modernity, to make this sport, a great sport, do not we don't even believe that this could happen one day. So we decided to stop the production of acrobatic kites. However, our passion remains intact, and we will use our energy to other aspects of kites, event organizing, competition and producing large kites. Naturally, the wind and kite experience will have led us to the decoration of the street skies of city centers, and aerial architecture will be part of our upcoming activities We are also working on the creation of ephemeral museums of sculptures on intra-muros sand. It is with great pleasure that we will meet you on our next organizations. 25 years of emotions, with a team and riders we deeply loved and still love. A big page is turning for R-SKY, however, with still some great ideas in the boxes... Thank you all for participating near or far in this great adventure.

Me? Nope. I'm a fan of Pedro González (Los Hermanos Show Kites). They print in-house (in Spain) and not in China. I like that. Plus, the service is top notch and the prices are very good as well. Their new Detox 2021 costs 290,00 Euro. But there are some kite builders who have their sails printed through Polo. And they like the quality!

Me too. I had a little chat with Mr. Hadzicki (Revolutions in Japan! Super Masters Take it to the next Level! - YouTube), but it don't look they are taking the older models back in production again. I had an RX, but trade it for an old B-serie because it didn't fly as I like. Now i am not a huge fan of the reflex system, but that can be just me. I am very disappointed they stopped the production of older models, so I guess my next kite will be a Detox or a Djinn.

Me too

Heh-heh. Took the words right out of my mouth, Edmond. Although I was a little reluctant to say it (till now I guess!). John pushes the limits in seeking performance. We are beneficiaries of that. But some/many of us are quite content to get the peace and serenity offered by some of our older kites. (And that is not to say that the two approaches are mutually exclusive, either.) Out of this discussion I have learned that perhaps I should pay more attention to the idea of the two separate wings, or 'engines', that the Rev 1 has, or has more of. Never thought of it that way. But, in fact, weren't early variants of quads of this type just two diamond kites stuck together at their bottome? Or something like that.... .
