Vented Rev B

[DA12K]

Hey Folks,

I recently purchased a Vented Rev B and am having difficulty getting good flying time with it due to lighter winds. I was contemplating on purchasing some Race Rods, but am also thinking about just getting a Non-Vented Rev B. What would be the better choice???

FYI I live in Las Vegas.....

Thanks for your help ,

Thanks for your response Penny.... I look forward to hearing from John and the other experienced B pilots.

I'm still learning with my Rev's but the vented B is a lot smoother than the non vented, I am getting race rods for it as soon as I can afford them. I have both the B's and the Vented is always first out just in case I can get some wind in it.

Vented with Race Rods in 6-12 mph is darned near god's gift to kite flying... Totally precise, SO easy to fly.

My #1 choice for precision, when wind allows.

FYI, the Race Spars should lower your minimum wind range on the vented to about 4-5 mph, on up to about 12-14 mph, depending on your skill.

Thanks for the input everyone!!!

I broke down and got a standard Rev B. I was talking with ken at A wind of Change and decided that having both Kites would be a good thing...

I Just got back from flying the B vented in some stiff wind and what a blast I had. I got the concept of hovering a spin maneuvers but darn invert hovering is testing my patience.

Good choice, those two kites will let you fly in darned near anything.
