I think I've made up my mind and am going to purchase a new kite....  I'll play with the one I have but I figured I may as well buy a new set up.  

This decision has of course brought hours of reading and comparing the various Rev Kits.  I don't plan to do any team flying but I do enjoy the ability to do precision moves but I am a speed freak!  

So I'm looking for some suggestions on which Rev to go with.  I live in PA and our average wind speed where I live is between 7 and 15 mph. 

I think I've narrowed it down between the Rev Blast Stunk Kite and the Reflex RX.  

Even if it's not one of the two I'm looking at I would appreciate any input or suggestions that anyone has.

Thanks again~

I appreciate everyone's responses.... I'll include pics of the sail and the leading edge rails which are the 7/16".  It's amazing on the  amount of variables and combinations.... mind blowing.   

At this point I think I'm going to stick with the leading edge and the sail and then purchase a new traditional bridle, vertical rods, line and handles and enjoy myself. 

Again thanks to everyone for the responses, it's nice to have an active community where people are willing to help out other flyers.

Thank you both for your responses.   I think at this point I'm going to try and get authentic vertical rods and bridle.  One other question.. I've been flying dual line sport kites for some time and thought it was time to move to a quad, this being my first one.  I've been doing a ton of reading and from what I understand the French Bridle is a more responsive set up from the basic bridle.  Since I am new to it, would it be just as easy for me to learn with the FB, rather than learning with the original and then trying to transition to the FB?

Thanks again.. greatly appreciated!!

Hello..... I just purchased a used Rev 1.5 SLE and had some questions on a few of the parts whether they are original or correct and would appreciate any assistance anyone would could give me.  The parts that I am questioning are the vertical rods and bridle.  I'll attach pics of both of them.  

The over all length of the vertical rods are 32 5/8” x ¼” O.DO but the end caps just don’t look right to me. 

 

And the bridle may be a replacement ( I'm basing that on the fact that the horizontal string is red and all the vertical ones are black) so I'm not sure if the set up or knot placement is correct.

Thank you in advance for any input you give.
