Thought I'd post this and if anyone else has comments etc please add. So I had always wanted to try a quad kite and a while ago I pushed the button and bought a Rev EXP from kite world in the UK ( excellent service by the way). I have thoroughly enjoyed using the exp. I wanted to buy a vented rev for the winter it gets blowy on the east coast round me. So I started looking around . I don't want to pay the price of a rev vented...I can't afford to. So I started looking round for other options and suppliers. Anyone who's done this knows how limited this choice / availability is in the uk. I ended up buying a big vents kite from https://www.feine-drachen.de an excellent price, great and quick service and a cracking product , Roger is great to deal with .I am still just starting out and this flys well with my very limited capabilities. Been out in 20 mph and its flown well. Anyone else have suggestions on places / options to buy right across the price spectrum?

well done mate.👍

hope your lad gets well soon...family first at all times👍

I have no input on technique etc...you are way, way, way more advanced than me, loved the video. Always good to watch someone trying, learning and succeeding-brilliant stuff👍

congratulations mate🪁👍

Great place and definitely helpful folk. Definitely worth cruising the older articles. Definitely worth subscribing for the video tutorials etc.....

I ended up buying a spare rod from kite world, due with me on Friday👍. I saw the publicity for the Bridlington festival, unfortunately I was busy. Hoping to get along to the Filey Kite festival this weekend, their first one I think.

Just been. Looking at the shops you have detailed, very helpful thankyou.

Very decent of you thank you🪁😀

Now that's a sound idea. I keep coming back to a northern kite group, but can't access their website , seems to be a common issue. I'll try a different browser when I get near a PC see if that helps. I haven't seen anyone round my area fly a kite for years. Seen a few up on the east coast but seem to be the bigger power kite type stuff. I thought there would have been a bit of a revival as it gets folk out and about and most outdoor hobbies seem to have a resurgence in popularity. I'll. to see what I can find, thank you for your replies much appreciated.🪁👍

Hi everyone, hoping I aren't covering old ground here. So I've my had rev exp for a few weeks now , loving it great fun. But today it's a bit gusty and I've snapped a vertical spar..... Oh well it happens and I have the spare that came with the exp and I believe that can be used a sa. vertical spar or an end spar for the leading edge . Up and away again tomorrow👍 I've just looked for a source of spares in the uk or near to the uk and I am struggling to find anyone other than Kiteworld anyone use a different source for spares for the United Kingdom based flyer? I have asked this in the uk flyer forum but thought I'd ask a wider audience. ....Don't misunderstand this I have used kiteworld and had nothing but a good experience but just want alternatives if possible.

Thankyou, I'll get the wife to have a look for me, I aren't on Facebook!!!! Think I might post this in the quad forum see if any one has any suggestions.

Hello Uk Folks, flown / messed with kites for a few years....2 line hq jive was my last buy, just got a rev exp to play with had it a couple of months and with very limited opportunities to fly. Anyone around the East Yorkshire / Hull area? Does anyone have any tips on a source for rev exp frame spares (vertical rods) just broke my first one...😀

Brilliant thanks for that Rickie. I'll give them a go when the wind drops tomorrow.....👍

These look like an excellent mod. I’m looking at doing exactly the same with my exp handles. Hope you don’t mind me asking but what size plug/ screw did you use?

Well having talked to a few and had a few forum queries I have bought a jive 2 should be here in the next couple of days,thanks for everyone's input, . have you cant be far from me I'm in Hull near the bridge .......
