Just acquired some kites from my Dad's vast collection. He was a Rev flyer and very good at it. Watching him launch and fly a stack of 6 was impressive, very graceful movements. So now I have a "JB Series" Rev and I'm going to attempt to learn it. I have the complete kite, 13" handles with 12" knotless leaders, a variety of used line sets in various lengths, a ground stake and loads of helpful info on this site. I'll be making a set of knotted leaders and have a new 90x80 LGP lineset which I'll be starting with. I also have a full Revolution Black Race frameset. So here come my question, and thank you in advance to all who respond. 1. What exact Rev model do I have and what are its characteristics? See image below. LE spar is 93.25", vert spars are 31", all labeled "4 strong". I assume with the four vents and heavy spars it's meant for higher than average wind conditions. 2. Is this an appropriate Rev for one who's never flown one before? 3. As I mentioned, I'm going to make new handle leaders. Will this kite respond well to the "long top, short bottom" knotted leader setup and adjust top in as I learn method? 4. When would it be appropriate to use the lighter Black Race frame in this sail? (I know, after I stop crashing with the heavy frame) I believe that's it, thanks again for any info on my Q's. GT

This is the snagless handle mod I've done taking ideas from mods listed on the forum, I've tried to keep it simple in construction, thanks for all the advice given, just need to tune and fly, cheers.
