Jeepster Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey John, don't forget to bring the B2 "stack" down to Kite Party ... it'll be great getting a little pre-ownership flight time on it. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbailey49 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm leaning towards good thing. I know if I was holding on to them, I would have to struggle mightily to overcome the temptation to fly them. Watty, on the other hand, probably has enough laying around that 3 more really doesn't have the same pull for him. I wish I had that many.

Wayne Dowler Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 If it can't be me, I say Wayne or Nick. I still think it should be me, though. And since Nick already bought his own - that leaves me to collect these babies!!!! My humble Thanks before - hand!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 And since Nick already bought his own - that leaves me to collect these babies!!!! My humble Thanks before - hand!! No, I need a 4 line kite that I can fly in less than 10mph. Then my transition to the 'dark side' will be complete... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they won't fly in less than 10mph, BUT Rob, you are going to want to fly these babies when the wind is "cooking" !! (if you get my drift.............)

See if that's really what you're after, then you're wanting a full sail to go with your full vent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 B2 standard will fly under 10mph. It WILL fly in NO WIND too, but that's a story for another time....<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if that's really what you're after, then you're wanting a full sail to go with your full vent! Yeah, you guys are probably right... If I don't win these, I will be looking for a full sail 1.5 with black race rods. Nothing for nothing, I did notice on the Rev site that the B2 standard has a wind range of 2-12mph. The last thing I want to do is fly fast, though. I'm a S-L-O-W flyer, I need time to think... (left is right, right is left... dyslexia and kite flying are a challenging combination !) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Pete Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I need time to think... (left is right, right is left... dyslexia and kite flying are a challenging combination !) Well, you will learn faster if you concentrate on left is counterclockwise and right is clockwise. Left and right as kite directions change depending on the orientation of the kite. Clockwise and counterclockwise remain the same. (This good deed will surely influence the RNG to pick #833.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, with the B2, you will have already made 4 or 5 rotations (in some direction ?) , by the time you can ever say, c-o-u-n-t-e-r-c-l-o-c-k-w-i-s-e 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Rob - I know how it feels, after overcoming my stroke!! Now, the regained confidence and hope it has given me, has pretty few limits!! Keep flying!! ps: RNG pick me!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmadz Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I've been bustin me arse working these last couple of weeks and will be worn out by the drawing time. Point blank, I want them RNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmndrew82 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Given that it is my birthday April 1st, maybe I have a shot at these. I am also new to the forum/website so maybe I'll get a little beginners luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 No new goodies from KP, sorry - just sunburn and a grin. Still, will be working to rally up some new and unusual items whenever possible. To be fair though, I'm utilizing most of those connections for the new AKA raffles (will post about this separately).

Wayne Dowler Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Luck has nothing to do with it, partner!! It's all in the hands of the beloved RNG!! If you're gonna try hard for these - that's who you need to impress!! Ps: got a little something for you RNG: Just a small reminder of the winning #!!

Glad you had fun out there. Bought a few tickets for the raffle yesterday. Kinda worked out since I was thinking about 2 of those anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, the unfortunate thing about it is, the more I think about something, the more twisted up I get. It's not just right & left, if you say top wind & bottom wing, that automatically gets confused, too. Clockwise & Counterclockwise, instant confusion. If I don't think about what I'm doing, it usually turns out the best... Rob - I know how it feels, after overcoming my stroke!! Now, the regained confidence and hope it has given me, has pretty few limits!! Keep flying!! Wayne, I can't even imagine how hard it is to have to re-learn stuff for a second time. I have the utmost respect for your attitude & accomplishments. Dyslexia is something that I've always had, although it gets in the way, it isn't a sudden obstacle that had to be overcome... for me it's just the way things are. Maybe that's why the upside-down hover is easy for me ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbailey49 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm looking forward to dealing with the confusion of right left up down clockwise counterclockwise looking up at that sweet progressive vented purple and black stacked awesomeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbailey49 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm making a bet here and now, this thread will top 200 posts! Most in recent times was 188 B Series Mid, then 173 for the recent Vtd B2. Could even see 300!Pssst 977I want, I want977Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This post will put us past the Vented B2's 173. I see nothing to stop 26 more posts before April Fools. Good Call, SparkieRob. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
