  1. mine are 13 inches that works for both hard and soft ground
  2. thank you
  3. here is my HQ flowform 7.0 i love it and its much cheaper then a 252 sutton .. however i would like to get one of those someday
  4. seeing this thread still alive is great... i miss my hawaiian ... should have never sold it
  5. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!to all the dads out there im ready for another year with my wonderful son Ethan .. here is a pic of us yesterday at the beach.. i love my son very much and he is loveing kite more and more sometimes he will foy the kites .. other times he will just watch
  6. wwhhaaaatttt .. i gotta try that im wondering because my waist is much bigger then john,s would have better steering ha ha ha ha
  7. i had one in 87 .. i also had a hawaiian team with pulled like a truck .. the spinoff wasa nice kite with a buzz to it but was the top choise for the old skool kiting days here .. back then i saw tons of fliers with them .. their are still some floating around .. if you have one or can get one it would be a great collector .. back then i sold both of mine and now i beat myself up for doing it
  8. well best of luck with the project i do wann see it when its done
  9. i usually go there but i had a hacked virious that blocked me from thes forums so now that im back drop me a line and ill meet you there
  10. a 3 pack on a jet ski!!! well if must try it be careful as a stack can pull really hard .. a graphite freme will work but one thing youll have to do is beef up the first kite depending on the frame .. in 30 mph that might be a bit much so tell the driver to slow it up a bit!!i wanna see pictures of this if you do get it going

    oh you haavent seen nothing yet
  12. out of that set i would say the e2 because its a great all around kite and its good for when you get the hang of flying youll already have the better kite in hand without haveing to dump out money to upgrade

    great post aerochic .. those brought back some good memories
  14. you need some 0 wind kites like a rev indoor .. or a 1.5 sul with a race frame and some 50 foot 50# lines that will also help
  15. very nice shots choccy
  16. Dean .. you da man
  17. you could say that!!!!!!
  18. the 2 top inner end caps on the leading edge and the 2 bottom endcaps .. make 2 inch loops called pigtails and your set
  19. i figured paul would chime in on this one.. he is the master of light winds and has givin me a few pointers that i have used for quite a while .. Dean take all of his advise on tuneing your kite.. it has been very useful for me .. my next plan after the summer is to try a few no sew revs myself
  20. cant tell you without seeing it but it sounds like you were doing cascades .. they are a left and right series of half axles
  21. the older revs were made of a thicker sail metreal.. the newer ones are much thinner.. the only revs i think that have icrex are the SUL kites i could be wrong however..as for the kite you have if you put a lighter frames in it you will get a better fly in lighter winds .. another thing a few fliers do as fly with 50 foot lines for better responce from the kite as light winds require some walking motions.. also if you can chack your lineset to see if all your lines are the same length.. if one line is off it can make controlling the kite hard
  22. Dean.. your setup is a common one.. i take it you have a SLE in the top you ll want to get th4 1/4 rodsets.. they come in 2 3 and 4 wraps and now rev has the race rods..if you want better light wind pfrormance go with the rece rods or 2 wrap .. the race rods are the lightest and are really nice springy rods bend nicely to allow more wind to hit the sail .. in time you should have all the sets .. its great to have them as the winds have minds of their own..as for the handles you probly have the 8 inch handles.. they are good but 13 inch are better.. the newer revs come with them
  23. i do the same thing thing as penny does .. with the bridles on and i have made removeable pigtails for when i want to make the switch .. the winds here can be 0 one day and 30 the next so its best to come prepared .. removeable pigtails are eazy to make .. just make 4. 3 inch loops and attache them by larksheads to the upper and lower end caps
  24. i agree that would be fun .. to see who does what.. and find out the truth of all
