Reef Runner

Ummm ! "HOUSTON, we've got a problem"

But Barton, I'm farther east, than you are ! Only 4 hours for me, you know.......... Ok, let's see - if John ships that "Sweet Suite", over here to the east coast, and since I'm such a nice guy, I'll give you a three hour head start , and well, when you get there..............I'll be (see below) :rev_clockwork:

That would be great, but I'm tied up with a major project, here at the house............sheesh (what a pain)

Now, now............play nice !

~ ~ N O T ~ ~ Over here on the RIGHT coast, we spell it - "FUGGETABOUDIT", too and that's exactly what you ought to do ! Just fuggetaboudit ! For some reason, I feel like that "Sweet Suite", is heading over this way :rev_clockwork:

Send tickets! :plane: and I won't even ask for the discount

Hey Barton - You gotta be creative with this RNG ! Believe it or not, that dude is pretty unpredictable, so everybody has their own special technique, which hopefully exerts influence. Maybe, maybe not, but whatever, you gotta try, because you just never know.............. Now I tell you, I'm kinda liking that #1000, that Dust has. My money is on anyone, with "trips". Just something about those three 000's, and those three B2's, that just sounds right. He might just have a winner there, and not know it. I wonder if he would switch numbers with me, just for this drawing ??? Hmmmmmmmmm, Hey Dust ............... What do you say ?

590

I've already tried that approach. It doesn't work.

Hey Rob, Dream on! And yes, I share the feeling. It would be pretty neat, though, but, now back to reality. I think it would be kinda like lightning striking the same spot twice. I really don't see anything for us to do, but "bite the bullet". Just get on-line, whip out the old credit card, and get to shopping. I love my B2 Std, but it needs a partner, for those really windy days ................ See, now that wasn't so hard to justify, was it OK, lightning may strike the same place twice... but my lucky number is a 3 time winner. My odds don't look so good now, do they... I can not believe that you have won three times.................but I just checked (unbelievable)

About time you showed up..............

Both...sorry for not mentioning. Today was on 13", since that is what I have used lately. As for the wind, always a guess without a meter..my ear hairs don't jiggle with the head phones on, but i think John pretty well hit it on the head. Yep, when I first began with the Rev II, I put it up, on a set of 13" handles [ BIG MISTAKE ]. One day, up on the dunes, I was flying a 1.5 B-series, and the wind was cooking pretty good that day, so I decided it would be the perfect time to try out that new Rev II that was in my bag. So, the easiest change over was to simply stake the B-series, walk to the kite, disconnect from the lines, re-attach the Rev II in it's place, and give it a shot. Talk about "over-control". What the heck was going on ? I thought I had gone "brain numb", and forgotten how to fly (?). I was clueless as to what was going on, and really thought that something was wrong with the kite. So, after several "completely out-of-control" maneuvers, plus a string of "unscheduled landings", along with quite a bit of embarrassment, I finally got that Rev II, safely back on the ground, and into the bag. The bag is where that kite stayed for a good 3 - 4 months, before I finally got up the nerve, to try it again. When that time came [ in a "not so public" place ], I set up with the Rev supplied, 11" handles, and all of a sudden everything clicked. So that's why they put those short handles with this kite - "shorter handles equal shorter inputs". Once I understood this, and gained back my confidence, I've become quite fond of the little Rev II, and especially when the wind is really cooking. Of course, this all lead me to the "B2", and now, after learning that initial lesson, the hard way, I am able to fly and control the Rev II, or the B2, with either set of handles.

I like that "+" you got there............reminds me of my favorite spot

Are you using 13" or 11" handles?

I did an update on my standard B2, sometime last fall, and now it will only boot (fly) in "salt air" Hmmm! I suppose I should work on that, as I'm sure it's an operator problem !

I haven't tried a mid-vent, but I would think that unless the wind was really up, 50# should be fine. I have flown my standard sail in winds, that I know it wasn't designed for, and 50# is all I've ever used. I'm thinking about a vented B2, now, but with this new give-a-way that John's got going on, I just don't know whether to go for it, or not, (just yet).........

They do ? And as for those little weights, I never did figure that one out, either. I just melted mine down, and used them fishing - go figure

I still can't quite get over this............OK............what's the catch ?

Oh, I wish I had that photo, too (with you in it)..............Now that would probably be "priceless", today !

Until that rust gets on your hands, and then on that brand new $350 sail, then is called an, "Oh $%!# moment"

Hey Rob, You should have known that we'd bust your chops again Probably ought to "delete" that photo from your computer, then you won't get caught again..... (rods on the front of a Rev.....chuckle, chuckle, chuckle) Just kidding now.....just kidding

Well put...........

R E A L L Y N O W - Who would have thunk it !

Congratulations Scott.......................Hope you've got some nice warm breezes, where ever you are !
