Reef Runner Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 To put an SLE rod in a "B" is sacrilege!! The "B" was designed around using the flex that the 1/4" rods have, not the inflexibility of the SLE tubes!! Yes it will interchange, but don't let the Rev police catch you!!! Oh Wayne, and I was just thinking about outfitting an old 1.5 Rev, with a 7/16" SLE in the LE, and I was going to make a set of vertical (upright) rods out of another old cut-down, SLE rod. Then I was going to send it to you, for heavy wind days. (ha, ha) Do think that thing would fly like a tank, or what ? Rev police would put you under the jail ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrinor Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hmmm........3 kites in 3 weeks?.......I'm very sorry to tell you that you are showing all the symptoms of spontanious kite addiction.....there is no known cure. However we can offer a counselling service.....now repeat after me.. "....my name is Bob and I'm a kite addict. It's been ..... hours since my last flight............." Welcome to the addiction! Remember to watch out the the symptoms of 'Stage 2" Constantly looking at trees/flags to guess the wind speed... ....A swollen kite bag...... .....and an empty Bank account! dang man you could have left a little wiggle room..trees/flags,,check.....kite bag swollen..check....drained bank account...ugh check..
