Congratulations.

Only a couple of days to go!! Let's go 977!!!! Wooooo hoooo!

Now THAT is a whole heap of sizzle...!

A Jammin' from Skydog would fit that bill but I did notice it wasn't on your list. Pretty sure a Crossfire is a earlier model than the Jammin' but both are not "new" models. Have a look in the classifieds for someone selling a higher spec kite but second hand. Some definite bargains to be had. Or. Even post a wanted ad in there. Second hand can be great to learn on as you will be less concerned about keeping it crispy new. Allowing you to concentrate more on the sequence you are working on. Have fun.

Lots of tutorials on here. I still go back and watch them. It is still a thrill to hear JB say, "just like that".

Ahhh, when 2 deities get together only magic can occur. And some awe inspired mischief! All hail the RNG!!!

Remember how the really special drawings brought out the best of member trash talk..?!! THIS ONE is definitely headed south for the beaches of Oz! Warm easterlies in the morning. Cool westerlies in the evening. Hello RNG. You still kicking?

How did you go? Here in Australia it is internal diameter for measurements for water pipe and "class" rating for the pressure it can stand. Eg, 15mm class 18 gives an internal bore of 15mm (0.6 inches) at 1800kPa (261psi) pressure. Higher pressure gives a thicker wall. At 6 foot you could even use a fishing pole. It even has loops for attachment on it. Rod holders are freely available too.

Yes I do fly with quite a bit of brake but same handle set on a Vented Rev and the Polo, the Polo just sits deeper in the inverted position. I've even swapped out the bridles to compare and it still rings true. In fact, the Polo will fly in lower wind on the same frame than the Rev. These days I just use my Djinn full sail and go straight up to the Polo without any Mids inbetween. Just an interesting observation.

Still in Perth. Rolling north, south, east and west. And the centre of the city too. Carparks, road verges, beaches and board walks.

I have noticed that my VTD Polo is far more "comfortable" when flying inverted. It sits quite stable and nice in a upright hover but put it on its back and it is sooo much more stable than any of my Revs. Purely an observation. Anybody else experience this?

G'day everyone. It has been a while since I've visited the forum. But. With changes I've made I will be semi regular back here. Time, spare time, has been hard to come by of late. Challenges both professional and personal have required my energies putting a lot of things on the backburner. It was when I was having a pretty bad week that I just grabbed my Djinn and went to the park to work out some frustration that I realised how long it has ACTUALLY been since I'd flown. I felt good. I felt free. More of this for me. I hope you all are keeping on and have made it through. Made love. Rob.

Welcome @Aussie Dazza, I was going to ask where you were from but... ha ha. East cost. Bloody nice spots over there!

Yep, a 3 wrap or 3 feathers frame. It's a bit heavy I feel for a full sale. Throw a full race frame in or a 2 wrap leading edge and it feels just more nimble. Sent from my SM-G970F using KiteLife mobile app
