Thanks to Bill, for letting me lose on personal kit, and lending me some longer handles. Thanks to the rest of the guys at Dunstable today. Confirmed my suspicions the Rev copy I bought wasn't all that, thanks for the improvement tips for the kite too, lines, spar repair/replacement. Definitely nothing like anything I've flown before. I'll be back with my Frankenstein'd kite soon, Covid permitting...

Know that one. Have taught random family how to fly their delta, and chased down, and sat on a 3m foil.... At Dunstable, funnily enough...

I'll be there.... 😁

Don't know what I did above.... #speshul. I'll take a drive out tomorrow am, gf's going out around 8. I've been to Hobbycraft today and bought a 3ft length of Dowl, which I intend to bore out.... Worth a bash. I'll be the guy wearing a faded orange/brown baseball cap, possibly carrying a kite roll over my shoulder... It will be nice to get some face to face.

Hi oapbillf, I'm currently squatting at my girlfriend's, near Amersham. Under normal circumstances I'm in Southampton. Spars have kingfisher on them. I didn't see a model, other than 2.1m quad kite, but here's the advert. Thanks Mark

Hi riffclown, gotta love auto correct. I'll have a look, and report back.

Evening all, I recently bought a 2.4m Revo copy from China. On its first outing, I ensured all 4 lines were equal length, attempted launch 'right way up' in 5 - 10 mph winds. It kept falling over.... I found instruction online to launch upside down, which stopped the falling over, but having got it air-bourne I grazed a wingtip in an inadvertent touch and go manoeuvre, which split one side of the centre spar. Obviously, not hitting the ground is the best way to not break spars, but where can people suggest I find less delicate replacements? 8mm OD, 6.5mm? ID?? I spoke to some local rev fliers, who suggested LE? centre spars would be all over forums, but what I was shown was 10 - 12mm. Can anyone give me a steer? Can I replace with fibreglass? What's best for durability/cost? Thanks, Mark
