    Homemade Rev?

    Thanks everybody for you answers! I'm browsing the web everyday to get new tips for my futur-homemade rev... As my english is not perfect, I'll also have to browse my dictionnary to understand some parts of revflier's last post Very technical, a lot of good tips for a very personnal rev...thank you! And what are these famous "magic stix"? never heard talking about it, here. My last problem to solve is to find the ripstop and the tubes... Pretty hard to find here in Brussel. But I'll find out! I promise I'll show you my rev as soon as it's built. BEN

    Homemade Rev?

    Hello everybody, First, thanks all for your usefull answers. One said 'don't worry, we don't hate you" "just take your time and be patient for the answers" Thanks for your attention, it's true that I was a bit impatient... you know what it is, when you are so excited that you want to start as soon as possible.. So, sorry for my impatience, and thanks for all your answers. It's great to see that every topic actually interests soo many of you, here on this forum. Answering to the main question of "building it by my own, a crime?" Actually i'm totally respectful for the rev company. As a newbee in kiting, i'm simply impressed by the simplicity of these kites, the simplicity of their shape and the complexity of all the tricks you can accomplish with it! It's precisely the reason why "I fell in love" with rev's without even having tried one: it's impressive of simplicity (in it's design), but pleasure you can get from making it flying seems to be infinite... So...respect for those who invented it! According to this, for sure if I could, I would buy one. The fact is that i'm a student, so budget is not ok... here in europe, (I live in brussel) Revolutions are not frequent on the coasts and they are quite expensive. That's why I have the ambition to build one by my own. Or maybe I'll try to find a second-hand one? But it's not as "romantic" as building it.. Anyway, I'm almost sure that in a close future when i'll be more aware of "wich rev to fly in wich wind", "wich kind of rev fits me the best" and when money will be there, I'll have no fear to buy real ones. Have no doubts about this... (And my hand-made rev would stay a great memory of my youth ) Rev-flyers, thanks! It's now time to browse the webpages you advised me. (and to dream once again, watching the videos of John and Rui... ) Ben

    Homemade Rev?

    Hello, It seems that my last post hasn't inspired you... It would be so kind from you if you could give me some tips/internet adresses for a handmade revolution? Sorry for my poor english anyway... and John, if my post is not in the right topic don' hesitate to move it please. Kind regards, Benoit
  4. Hello everybody, I'm totally new in the world of kitting, (I started last month) I already have an old stuntkite I flew for the last two years, and I just bought a stunt/traction kite: the HQ bad widow, and my power kite is a bullet 3.5 I'm simply fascinated by these "Revolution" as their flight is wonderfull and as they appears so hard to crontrol... that's why I really want to ad this wonderfull kite to my kite bag! As i'm a student (belgian) and not rich at all, i'm would like to make my "rev" by myself... It seems to be possible, when I see this wonderfull rev here in the video. So, Rui, would you have any tips for me? could you please share your "secrets" for this wonderfull handmade Rev?? I'm ready to spend a lot of time on it, because i'm sure I will have much more fun flying it after.. If you have any tips, webpages, plans or else to transmit me, it would be really nice from you! Thanks a lot everybody! BEN (Belgium)
