  1. Shows you that the problem is world wide too!!! Why support those that are "thieves" ??? Buy from authorized dealers to be sure you get what you expect!!
  2. Well in that case, See you there!!!!
  3. Sorry, but I don't think the RNG will listen to this sob story!!! But you can try!!! Besides, I want that kite!!!
  4. I thought you guys were going up to Barts festival?? Isn't that the same weekend?
  5. Gotta try somehow to win this!!!! PLEASE!!!
  6. I'll be there!!! Look for the bright blue floppy hat, I'll be under it!!
  7. Man, I just watched them (and some others), WOW!!!!
  8. Update : Trying these rods in every sail I have, to do a fair comparison!! Got some initial thoughts, but that's what they are, initial!! Keeping the review in mind, will post when I feel satisfied comparisons have been done and are fair!! Good winds, everyone!!!
  9. I would be very surprised if Lolly or Ben had this attitude!! Just this last week I had a problem with a bridle, they took care of it immediately!!!
  10. I like #7 - but with a little extra - THEY GOTTA MOVE!!!
  11. Poking fun at the RNG??? Sounds like too easy or something!! Would of let my kid try it out!!
  12. SO CLOSE!!! Yeah, there will be another drawing soon enough!!! Congratulations, Marvin!! Have fun!!!
  13. TICK, TICK, TICK!!!
  14. From the little time I've spent on them, Pretty Hardy Critters!!! You may have to smash them on purpose, to cause any damage!! PS: It's almost a 2 hr drive to the coast from my house!!!
  15. Long haul, there!! Nothing like a spot only a mile from your house to fly!!
  16. As soon as I get the chance to try them and compare with the rods I have, I'll post my "review"!!
  17. Ok , I'm back to life now!! You are correct, that's why vents are in most people's bags! With a std. and a vented, you'll have just about every wind condition covered!! You try a vented, you'll like it!! PS: you did get away with very little damage, could have had a broken spar rip the sail or leading edge pocket!!
  18. 30mph gust??? Let me pick up my jaw, then I'll scratch myself to see if what I'm reading was correct!! You're lucky all that popped was a vertical, in that much wind!! Better look at the vented versions if you're gonna fly in that kind of wind!!!
  19. That's 20 years total, had to take a bit of a break right after my stroke, then another recuperating from hip replacement!! But this last year has been exciting!! Lots of Rev flying, now with an Indoor almost a daily thing, and there has been no substitute for "time on the lines"!! Skills that I could only imagine are slowly peeking out from the darkness!! I had flown mostly dualies, with an occasional flight for my Rev1 if the winds were right!! Got to where I didn't like the pull so much and even though I had leaders on to adjust by, well they weren't enough!! I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a vented kite before last summer!!!! Now, I've got most of the wind range covered with vents of all types, no extra vent for hurricanes yet, and fly pretty much when ever I can! It will be interesting to see how the "greenies" react in different sails and if I like them or not!! By the way, you're right I'm no JB or Watty for sure, so you're sure to get an opinion from a regular but common flier!! Now if only the weather would play nice so I can go outside, Indoors is fun, but I need my dose of sunshine!!
  20. So I don't need to test them till destruction?? That's a relief, only broken 1 rod in 20 years!! Knock on wood!!
  21. I wish I had thought of that. I've only got one problem - NO TAKERS!!! But it doesn't hurt to ask!! Hi "SV", "Ask and Thou Shalt receive!" heehee! It's a deal! I'll buy your opinion! heehee! I just talked to Theresa at "The Kite Shoppe" and she has a set of "Greenies" set aside for you (y'all can work out how they travel). What I (we) need is a good honest & unbiased review from a "common" Rev. flyer. Hell, John and Watty have no idea how to evaluate things at our level of the game! heehee! But, after listening to them...I get a slight feeling that maybe I'm missing something in my assessment of things. So, you can check them out and review the "Greenies" for me (us)! Thanks! Keep It Up! Duane " Duane : just got off the phone with Theresa, I will pick them up tomorrow!! She lives pretty close to me!! Sir, I just wanted to say "Thank You" very much, this is way above anything I expected!! I will be more than glad to "review" them properly for "us"!! Thank You!!!
  22. The "B" signature series comes with the 2 complete frames, handles, and DVD!! Some stores offer linesets as well! A "B" pro is offered as kite only with 1 frame!! John D. - there is a difference!! PM sent!
