wufer Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Baloo. Sorry mate, that was my intention but as you can see above i changed my mind. Again, as above, i just dont think i need one yet. Maybe when i get a bit better i might consider one, but at the moment i have my hands full with what i have now. Regards. Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant man Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 well i have 2 of the mylar 1.5 kites i dont know if i can vent those due to the mylar panels i wonder if i took out the mylar and replace it with screen would that work?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 The old (2006) vented 1.5's were ripstop/mylar sails... Dig up some photos. I wouldn't replace the existing mylar panels with venting, not good a good layout. The two vertical strips on either side really do seem to work best.

wufer Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 ant man. If you go to John Mitchell,s web; he has a load of pics of his revs and right at the bottom there is a vented 1.5 with mylar panals.Looks good. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nckiter Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ant, If you decide to vent a 1.5M SLE, definitely go with the 2 vertical vents like the factory version or with the 2 vents like the new B series. They are both very smooth. You will like 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to www.theflyingwatty.zoomshare.com, then go down to the "My Collection" tab on the left hand side. The first picture that popps up is my Rev 1.5 with ripstop and mylar. I just got it from Ben and Lolly, so the caps are real shiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
