Happy Thanksgiving! It's about the feel, and I know as an experienced duel line flyer you know what I mean. I have never flow a Reflex. I know it's higher end. Like anything new, in my humble opinion, it's better to start with a basic model and graduate. Bear in mind I am a rank amateur. I started with an EXP, then went to New York Minute, then a Barresi 1.5, and now a Djinn. I still love to fly my NYM. The EXP I break out when I see him just sitting in my bag being lonely! When you get the one your love, you will know. Find one that "feels" right to you, and as John always says, practice, practice, practice. Happy Flying!

The reason for the XX and RX and everything else in the Rev line at the moment is so they can add springs and still put the word "patented" on their kites and bags. The trademark for the Hadzicki design expired so ANYONE can make the shape now. After 20 years of getting feedback on how to make the kite better, folks like Bazzer, John Barresi, OSK and others are implementing those upgrades and making simply better kites. Rev added Springs and decided that that was the answer for everyone. They also changed their framing but not to be better, just to make it non compatible.

RX: But that is the same! Please watch the YouTube video of Joe Hadzicki explaining the differences between the different Rev models. I don't understand the difference

Worldwide and over 300 EUR free. I just had talked to Pedro yesterday. Great customer service !! I know only one other manufacturer who was so customer friendly and helpful when ordering: Some guy named @John Barresi The Detox has a good reputation for craftsmanship and flies very precisely.

I owned one of the first ones that Paul ever flew and came very close to trading him mine for a very special kite I ended up just buying from him. .. I sold mine as well a few months later and haven't even considered at a new Rev since.

I own an XX, but it is a very early prototype. I also own a bunch of others models, various brands and sail configurations and live to compare kites. first problem? Severe oversteer, you release the steering wheel and the vehicle goes wildly off the road instantly,... I hate that! If you want to turn in the center of the sail, this model is fun, if you want wingtip turns keep away. secondly, it is way too heavy for a low wind kite, it flies but graceful like a cattle truck,... heyitprobably survives your learning crashes though third, none of the framing members in my possession fit this model, fourth, you will be the only XX owner in your kite club,... is that good? i would sell mine, but everyone I know is too smart locally, can't give it away either as it was a trade for flawed diamond tubes custom ordered for the Zen,... rather than "make it right" (they were too long) Rev sent the XX instead. That action ended a 25 year relationship good for a thousand dollars each season, not thru retailers direct from the factory!

If you have extended leaders try increasing your brake tuning to the point the kite is neutral in the air. Then a more delicate touch (along with practice) will give you the reverse you are looking for.. I know it sounds counter intuitive (except for the practice point) but it's true.. IF you don't have extended leaders, that should be your next investment in your quad flying world..
