  1. No charge mate. Happy to give you some bits to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Nice. Don't be afraid to bend your lines round a pole or two. Give you a great perspective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Sorry Jim, have been super busy and didn't send the DVD. I'll put a "care package" together with some bits and send them out. Wall plugs and screws to convert to no-snags. I'll tie you some longer leaders. I'll do some pull tabs for your lines. I'll dig up a kite stake too. That should keep you going for a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. SLK is an acronym for Single Line Kite. I'm not 100% sure but Go Pro may have a pan/tilt set up for their cameras. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Overlay the 3 sails and see if there is an irregularity in the shape of the mid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Contact prism directly, you never know if they have some "out the back". They return an email enquiry quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Just curious what people term "high wind" as? For me it would be above 30km/h or 20mp/h. I'm inland and gusts can be 50% on top of the prevailing wind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Ha ha ha. Back from va-ca to serve up some tasty treats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hey, that's Sh!t Hot! Juices are now flowing. Shopping trolley returns are my most likely target... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. yes I've flown the kites.Wind was a bit light on but managed to have some fun. I've ordered a rev from 'kite connections' in america..... so its just a waiting game. i will PM you sparkieRob, that would be greatly appreciated. What rev did you get? Dave is pretty y good to deal with. Awesome pilot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Just checking in on you. Have you got the kites and had a fly yet? Wind has been good and terrible lately. Revs. Most package deals from a store will have a DVD instruction with them. If you are still considering getting a rev, pm me your mailing address and I'll send you one of mine. First taste is free... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Lots of thumbs up for this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. No standard! Ye gads! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Oh now this is unfairly tempting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  16. Congrats Bill. No banter, my apologies. I completely forgot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Oh dear, this is tempting. Very tempting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Thought that was you bidding... Revs different to fly. Some find them easier, some don't. Self teaching with revs is quite easy. There are great tutorials on this very website. A couple of hours with a semi competent rev pilot will take months of the learning. Be happy to help. Even let you fly some to get a feel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. The Zypher is a nice kite, more of a "light standard" than either a UL or a Std. Check with one of the stores for new price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Oh, A big "g'day" and welcome to the forum. Lots of friendly enablers here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Max and min wind ranges are a variable thing. Ideally your "flying wind" needs to be somewhere in the middle. A UL and a Std pair will serve 80% of wind here in Perth. A Std will be of more use than the UL though. There aren't any kite stores in Perth for stunters. You can buy stunt kites but they are of the "light recreational use". There are a couple of "East Coast" stores that are quite good. Both for website info and service. Sometimes range can be a bit limited but it's more to do with demand being not huge. Postage from the U.S. needs to be factored in as it can be a little limiting. Nitty gritty time. $500 for kites... Is that for 3? Of the same? Or do you want a spread of wind range? Tricks or just casual zooming around? Do you want rtf, ready to fly with lines and straps? If it was for 3 rtf trick kites the same, I'd suggest a Skydog Jammin. Heaps of features and capabilities for the price. I own one. And all three of you could fly together. However, this does limit you to a "Std" wind. Check back with a little more info to help. Hey, with summer coming up we should meet up. I promise to hold of letting you fly the Revs until at least the second hour... Rob. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I'm in Perth! Just out at the moment. I'll check back soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Thanks Rob. I did my best. Would love to see what it looked like from crowd POVwould you have a link for that? Your clip was posted to the "Bondi festival of wind" Facebook page with a nice comment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
