  1. MASSIVE 3 DAYS FLYING FESTIVAL OF THE WINDS BONDI BEACH. WOULD HAVE DONE 25+ HOURS OF PURE FLYING. WAS FIRST FLYING SAT, SUN AND THE LAST ON SUNDAY TIL DARK! BEING ON NEW PRESCRIBED MEDICATION DIDN'T HELP THE CAUSE...... JUST MADE ME DUMB! I FULLY UNDERSTAND BALANCE AND TUNING REQUIRED FOR WHAT IS BEST ON THE DAY. JUST THAT MEDICATION MADE ME DUMB!
  2. Just can't find a happy place. That explanation Rob is exactly what I'm saying. Think I get it. I tried that setting. Felt ok but in dive stop ran out of brake if that makes sense. When I had that setting I had to dance like jb. Felt mad. But struggled to keep it up in lighter winds. Winds were very variable today. My axles were insane. Feels like your flying rev from top of handles if that makes sense. Unbelievable axles. The flattest ever and I wasn't even trying. I couldn't fly it unless I done the jb dance if that makes sense. Im really mentally drained from big day in sun. Im not in a happy place. I'm so confused. Think I'm gonna use other set of handles which I have about 12 inches of Pigtails. Set it like everyone is saying. Longer Pigtails on top. Furthest from handles. Bottom In close to handles. Shorter Pigtails . I just can not believe how much changing setting just to what everyone is saying ie longer top, changed my complete dance if that makes sense to people or am I just talking sh*t. Sorry everyone But yes with top longer did give rev completely different feel. Just because winds were so variable I felt like I had to always give whomp whomp to keep it up Is that the edge you need to be at for maximum control. I was amazed how easily i performed a near flat axle with ease. Is that the happy place???????? Please reply . Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk

  4. If there was another rev flyer I'd know them.But people here are saying that it is personal preference to adjustment Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
  5. Ok. Fresh day. Had a read of everything. Had fly and tried different settings. It makes me so confused. It must be the way my brain doesn't work. Lines are equal. Pigtails on handles are equal. I brought top one knot closer to handles which effectively makes top lines longer, hence slouched handles. I Flew ok. Had to give more whump to stay in the air. But feels like I've lost brake. Axles were crazy. Easier to axle because not as much brake. Am I correct in what im saying? However I did notice that my style changed and had to do the jb dance so to speak. Think I just worked out something. Now what you are saying about being slouched. It all depends on wind strength. Am I right??????[emoji30] Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
  6. This whole talk of adjustments on leaders. Im so confused. [emoji25] So you want a longer top line. Correct. I have my lines on furthest knot from handles. So if I bring the bottom in one knot. That's the same isn't it?. See what I mean I can't think I'm confused. Think I'm tired. Going to bed. Gotta get up early. Need to get to bondi early if I want a parking spot Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
  7. Why was that your favorite? Better standard of flying or because of variety? Perhaps because it was unedited Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
  8. I tried adjustment on last video. Went back to equal length lines. Struggled with it. Maybe just need to get used to it Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
  9. I tried lengthing top lines. Seemed to struggle. However wind was very light. Might try again tomorrow Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
  10. Thanks. Mmmmm..... people are very quiet. honestly thought I would get more feedback Sent from my GT-S7275T using Tapatalk
