  1. There's been a pretty open discussion of it here. -->
    No one really has a problem with it other than the Club 38 curriculum renaming many common moves to terms not used by quad fliers, any quad fliers.. I got a lot more info from JB's tutorials personally.  At least a few people didn't care for the constant script referencing.
    If it helps you learn, it's worthwhile. At least it's free now.. Initially they were charging $38 and would send you a T-Shirt.
    Bottom line is use any resource you can.. I initially learned the Catch and throw by slowing JB's B2 launch video down to frame by frame. If it works for you then by all means use it!! Nothing wrong with utilizing everything you can get your hands on to improve your skills.
     


    I'm definitely not implying that you only should use this Club 38 thing. I, as many others, have watched (again and again) JB's videos and learned a lot from them. But it was nice to have a sort of "script" to follow. Besides the people on the club 38 Facebook site is as friendly as you guys, so it's a nice place to be and it's nice to get suggestions on how to improving based on your videos.

    As a lony flier I have no idea what moves are called. Is there a place where I can read about the names?

    Anyway just wanted to throw Club 38 in, as a suggestion of one possible source of help on the basic.

  2. Do you fly the classic at more wind? How is your experience? (I'm thinking about denmarks westcoast..:))
     
    Thank you all for your opinion.
    Doesn't make it easier to decide But it's okay, that's why i'm asking
    I don't like flying it in more then around 6 m/s. It might be able to fly in more, but the line is singing pretty good and it feels like you could potentially brake something. Don't know if you actually will brake anything though. Also I don't like to much pull on my revs for some reason.

    I ended up buying a Reflex Spider for more wind then that. I also like that one a lot ;)

  3. I recently started out with the Classic, you get both worlds with it, both the Reflex system and you can fly it without.

    Truth being told, I can't feel much difference with or without the Reflex regarding the response from the kite.

    What I like about the Reflex is that it flies much better and more stable at the edge of the window. It also have a little less tendency to bow tight when flying reverse, but it's just a question of learning to feel the kite.

    I mostly fly on short lines. On 50 feet lines I really like the Reflex, as it gives me a noticeable larger and more controllable window. On my 30 feet lines I exclusive fly it without the reflex, because I like to mix in some catch and throw. As said, other then at the edges of the window, I don't fell much difference with or without the Reflex. That might be because of my inexperienced though.

    Anyway, I really like my Classic :)

  4. Just got home from the first flights with my new rev. There wasn't must wind and a lot of active air, so not great kite weather (it was inland). But so far I like it. Looking forward to some more wind and hopefully to get some good beach time on it soon.

    Just want to say thank you to you guys for all the help and advice. It's much appreciated :)

  5. Just out of curiosity Edmond. What modifications can I make to the Mojo to make it fly better?

    I still think it's a great learning tool, as it really can take a beating without snapping something. The leading edge allows for some really really hard hits, but at the same time, this come with a sacrifice, and hope to get more precise control with the Rev.
