Long time lurker, first time posting. <3 Been flying kites for about 10 years, and am a huge fan of quad line kites (revs in general). So I recently picked up a beautiful Black Rainbow, New York Minute, Single Vent from Dave (awesome dude) over a @kiteconnection and got to fly it for the first time this weekend. It flew like butter, but sadly, it sounded like a weed eater. Coming from my full sail Rev B series, which is silent as the wind, is a stark contrast to the rasping buzz on my new NYM. Nothing I tried could help tune it out. It seems to be the trailing edge, and it buzzes/ is flappy at *any* speed. It doesn't seem to affect its flight,cause it did fly really really well, I loved that it had muuuuuch faster reverse speed, and super smooth control. It just disturbs the peace. And its not a little, it a lot. It is pretty loud. I asked Dave about it, but he didn't know if the NYMs had a reputation be buzzy, but have found others talking about it online. Some buzzes, others silent, and others may only have it buzz on one side but not on the other. I am assuming its how the sail has been sewn. My question, is this a bug or a feature? Do you have a NYM single vent? Is it flappy? Did I get a loosely sewed sail? Am i just being silly or is this really a thing? Should I contact Rev, or possibly attempt an exchange with Dave, or just live with the noise? Not sure the best way to proceed right now. Thoughts?

Are there many NYM single vent fliers? I believe it would be perfect for our lower wind days with occasional gusts. There seems to be a lot of reviews/comments on the mid vent which is closer to the NYM double vent. From Revolutions site, "NYM 4 Quiver Includes: Standard sail: No venting, light to medium winds, 3-8 mph. Single vent: 20% venting, perfect for bumpy winds, 7-12 mph. Double vent: 42% venting (9% over the mid-vent B-Series), 10-18 mph. Triple vent: 70% venting (between full and extra vent), 16+ mph." I fly inland winds, which can be gusty. Four lines kites in my quiver are list below. Supersonic vented 4 line stunt kite (Revolution) 5m 4 line traction (Pansh) 2.5m 4 line stunt (Spider) 2.5m 2 line can convert to 4 line stunt (Prism Snapshot foil) What are your impressions or comments on the NYM single vent? Thank you all for your time, this is a great site. Long time lurker, first time poster. Leon
