Wayne Dowler Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Definitely different! The 1.5 is the standard for everyone flying team, almost!! Lots of control in that platform!! The Rev2/B2 size is so much lighter and quicker! 2 completely different animals to fly! Give me a steady 5 mph and I'm very happy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPuppets LimitVoodoo Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 While I love the Race frame in my STD 1.5 for what it does, I love the 3 wrap frame for how it feels... STD sail 1.5, 3 wrap frame, give me a STEADY 8 mph. Actually, give me any wind speed > 1mph, so long as its a steady wind speed. Steady wind speed equates to optimal in my head. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm with SkyPuppet all the way! 1mph+ is good for me, from there, it's just different flavors of awesome as you scale through the various wind speeds / equipment combinations. There really is no "best" wind, because every kite feels different (faster, more precise, smoother, etc in their own ideal wind) it all depends on the wind quality, kite of choice, frame of choice, line weight, handle length and level of training - it's all play land, best to play with everything you can to find your own muse(s). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwiii Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well that says it all, " true true," I have gotten so much info out of a simple question and have really enjoyed reading everyone's input. It has renewed my vigor for kite flying and makes me want to try new things and combos of things . Fair winds to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
