Reef Runner

I'm a bit confused, now. I thought we had clearly established, that the lines were properly equalized, way back at the very beginning of this topic. How did two lines, all of a sudden get 12 inches longer ? Also, as hyzakite mentioned, why not just hook up the lines from your 1.5 Rev, and give them a try. Lines are lines. They don't have to remain with the kite with which they were purchased, you just need to be aware of the length & strength of each set. Identify them.......... I've used the exact same set of 100' x 100# lines on a dozen different Revs, plus I made the set myself. Good Luck....

So here I stand, just 11 days too late & NO JB ............ (bummer)

Hard to tell if anything is out of sorts, just seeing the individual sections. I really don't see anything that jumps right out at me, based on these pics. Could you possibly take a pic of the entire kite, in the horizontal position (top up), and let the bridle hang naturally, in front of the kite. Do try to position the bridle, so we can see it, and try to see that it hangs symmetrically, on each side of the kite. That might help us pick up on something strange............

Yep, the Delta Hawk definitely rocks in high wind situations. I got the Red & Black model, and that thing pulls like a freight train......

I still think photos would help us, to help you. Again, I'm just guessing (as are we all) without photos. I've never heard of putting the long leaders on the bottom of the handles. I believe the norm, is more like the other way around, as was your original set-up. Usually, you would have the longer leaders on the top, with very short leaders (maybe only a couple of inches), on the bottom. Most of us will fly with maybe 6 inches or more brake, than drive. My normal handle sets, have 12" to 13" knotted leaders on the top, while the bottom leaders are only about 3", with maybe two knots.

My Rev I launched just as the 1.5's and the Rev II's launch...........I'm perplexed , to say the least ?

Well, if the lines are equalized, as you say, then I've got to expect the problem is in the bridle, itself. Could the previous owner have modified it in some way ? Maybe it is not a standard Rev I bridle. I've had and flown a Rev 1, but never experienced any unusual problems with launching (?). Maybe someone else, with more Rev I experience will chime in. What you are describing does sound strange, indeed............

Are your flight lines equalized properly (all four lines the same length) ?

Hey Wayne, Did you have your meals catered in ? I don't think that I could (or would attempt to) do anything, for 9 hours a day. That's beginning to sound like being back at work. YIKES Good testament for the Skybond, though

I LIKE, or, I'M IN..................whatever (?) Not sure why, because I just recently sold one of these. Maybe too quickly ???? Either way, it's a cool looking glider, so I'll hang it up..............

The Master speaks................voila !

Come back to OBX !

Maybe a slight DETOUR ??

Hey John, I was going to suggest sending a PM to Wayne, as he seems to be one of the few, with experience mixing the two lines. He has likewise told me the same, as he indicated to you. I am also interested in the Skybond line, not so much for team flying, but for the color. For some reason, I can see the colored lines much better than the white LPG. It will be interesting to hear some other comments (not that I don't value Wayne's view) on this subject. Good topic ! I'll be following this one, for sure.

Go west, young man. Go west !

Thanks guys...............enjoy !

Ultrafoil 15 is still available, but pending............ [sOLD]

@ etully...........second PM sent

@ etully............PM sent..........

Hmmmm, nobody into SLK's these days ?

Hey John, Great pictures at the Wright monument, and "on the dune"............you are quite literally, standing in my footprints. Don't get too attached to that place, and leave me a little wind

Now isn't this just a swell place ?

Google..................... Midwest Kites A Wind of Change Kites Kitty Hawk Kites Into the Wind Kites Gomberg Kites The Kite Shoppe Any of these places should be able to fill your order !

Hey Classicut, Can't help out with all the dualie technical questions (Must86 is you man, for sure), but welcome to Kitelife ! As has been indicated, just ask, and you shall receive. There are a great bunch of people here on Kitelife, and more information than you can digest. Again, just ask..............welcome aboard !

Hey John, What are you doing up on my "flight deck" ? Really sorry that I missed you, but just couldn't work it out. I'll be standing right there, in just a couple of weeks Happy travels my friend !
