  1. Could you possibly send us the link to where you bought it or tell us what it's real use is if not sold as a kite bag? Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

  4. Hi there, I am looking for the equivalent of the bag shown from stock photos which used to sell for about $US55. I have had serious suggestions where to find one but nothing has panned out yet thanks,' Does anyone have one they are not using and willing to part with ?
  5. I have looked high and low and can't find one anywhere including eBay. Thanks for the reply however. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
  6. Hi there I have seen many people post saying that the Prism Zephyr Case is the best value solution for travelling with Rev Kites. I cannot for the life of me find a link to a site that sells them. Maybe its really obvious but I cant find it can someone help thanks
  7. Thanks for the detailed explanations, two things I really dont understand .. (1) How a stiff frame in a strong wind will stretch the sail, Surely with less give in it the sail will be kept flatter as the frame is stiffer ? Both you and Wayne have said that you wouldn't recommend using a 4 wrap in a strong wind. Were saying was that a NON vented with a stiff 4 wrap frame (making it possible to fly) would then stretch the sail ? (2) It was mentioned that brake increases lift. I assume this is achieved by adding another cord to the top handles and lengthening the top lines. Is that what you meant ? because I cannot for the life of me see how that works as when I have lift and flying dead straight ahead, applying brake (pulling on bottom handles) causes the kite to fall vertically downwards, ie losing list.. Thanks again gents..
  8. Thanks for the reply. I have 3 and 4 wraps now and intend to keep the 4 in the vented sail. I will see how things go then may be considered a lighter frame for the un vented sail on really calm days. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
  9. Flew the kite yesterday in 6 mph and above. Was real fun until wind died and I had to fight to keep it aloft in the 4 mph range. Big smiles all around. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
  10. Kite arrived last night. Just had a quick look at it and as soon as there is some wind I will get it onto the air. Stay tuned!!! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks for the idea. I have now bought a second hand unvented sail and this may be the way I go rather than burning holes in the kite, or maybe use velcro dots to attach the vent covers .. Cheers
  12. 10 stone ?? Are you an ex pat.. only a Brit would describe his weight in stones !!!
  13. Thanks for all the help and advice people... Now just waiting on USPS for my baby to arrive !
  14. So sorry I have been in meetings all day and just got out. I appreciate the trust you have in me by sending it already without payment received. I will try and get paypal working on my cell phone and pay you now. RoySent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
