CarlP75 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi, new to this forum. Inherited a Rev II kite from my father that I flew as a teen in the mid-1990s; needs new lines. Kite previously used 75' #50 line (I think LPG but am not sure). Rev Kite web site offers 65' LPG #90; is this a suitable replacement? Thanks in advance! - Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmond Dragut Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 if you just start fly again try 120' on 50 ore 90#. Rev II is a speed devil and longer line give you more time to react and correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makatakam Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 65 is fine. If you prefer, it can be shortened. Long line, 120', would be fine too, and slow it down a bit and give you a much larger window to fly in. If you can afford it, get both, or a bulk spool to tie your own and save money. 50# is sufficient for a Rev II; it just doesn't pull that hard, and in lighter wind it will have trouble getting the extra weight of 90# line off the ground and its speed will be dramatically reduced.
