  1. I am still a novice trying to master the basics. Any tricks I manage to do are by accident. Of course I pretend I ment to do it. Would be cool to be able to do some of the mooves I see on videos. I am sure it is practice, practice, practice. Anyway most importantly I enjoy myself. Looking at the lists of requests I can't think of anything else I would like. The split screen idea seems a good one. One request, mention of bungee adjustment. How much tension is needed on the sail. I am trying to adjust them untill the spars are retained and there is little deformity to the sail when it is inside, ie there is no wind on it. I hope this is somewhere near right? I do get a quite a lot od roar from the kite in gusty winds but presumed this was something I should expect. Regards, Chris.
  2. I expect it will be fine sending an Email Ant Man, dont bother to check. Just think of it as a bit of a gamble. You may be letting all the rest have a better chance of winning ;-} Hope international letters are OK. Now where is that pen!! Regards, Chris. Ps. It is my birthday on 11th January so if anyone wants to send me loads of Revolutions I will happily donate one back. Just a thought, the Birthday Kite Draw. What if everyone who sent thier information in made a small donation to the charity of thier choice (not compulsory of course). Not only would they have the chance of winning, but the warm feeling that others will be helped. Would make Ben's generosity have an even greater meaning?

    Hi QK So that must be a Superblast as the shepherd. Is the Superblast an old blast or one of the bigger ones? Not seen one of those before. Nice line up. you Ant and Penny ought to get together some time distance allowing. Hope to get some pictures of my Revs on here when the weather cheers up a bit. They are a bit muddy at the moment with all the rain we have been having here. Penny, I have not tried buggying yet. I am a bit worried as I have a prolapsed disk fairly low in my back which affects my sciatic nerve. Have had a couple of folks offer me a go and am really tempted. A bit afraid I will get bitten by the buggy bug though. Got the day off tomorrow so hope to catch some wind again. Regards, Chris.

    Looks like it is just you and me with this thread Penny. No buggy or Super Blast here. Just a guy enjoying the wind, kite wise that is of course. Chris.

    That would be Nope, Nope and Nope. In that order. Unfortunaly Una did not get a video. Shame as I would have liked to see it. Thanks for your obvious concern though Penny:) I dont think it is the last time it will happen. Although I am getting a bit old for this power kite stuf. Got some aches and pains this morning. Going to stick to Revs and the Sting I have. Still if I sell the Waterfoil I may try one of those Pansh kites from China (and they recon we learn from our mistakes:0 ) or could put it towards another Rev. Greetings right back at ya. Chris.
  6. Well it is here anyway. Been 2007 for an hour now. Had a good day. Flew my Exp, Rev 2 and tried the Supersonic (although I am not sure it is a proper Rev) Will get some pictures on here when I get the chance and maybe you guys can tell me what you think? Then made the mistake of getting my waterfoil out. The beast dragged me half way across the park . Been meaning to sell it. I did threaten it last time it dragged me around but I really mean it this time. My Wife thought it looked really funny me being dragged through the mud. I dont see what could be funny about that Anyway folks heres wishing you all a most exellent one from the UK. Regards, Chris.
  7. Fantastic kit. Especially like the Orange/white. The blacks will look most exellent in the air. If any one has too much or needs to give stuff away to make room for new stuff I will gladly look after it for you ;-) Seriously my wife is wonderfull, she just cant understand why I need more than seven kites. Have a good one all. Regards, Chris. Got to think of a reason to post pictures of my old stuff. Maybe you folks could date it for me?
  8. Wow how cool is that. Hope she flies as good as she looks. The smile on your face is priceless. Hope you have some windy days to see how she looks in the air. Any chance of posting a picture or two in flight?? Hope you dont think I am being too pushy. Regards, Chris.
  9. I have what I think is a fairly old Rev 2 in solid Red. Looks good in the sky. Regards, Chris.
