Mesh question

Perhaps a silly question, but here it goes.

Why is there that strip of mesh right at the leading edge? Aerodynamically it seems it would disrupt the airflow and be a weak point? Is it part of the secret Rev patented formula?

Do the vented Revs have it or just the Standards? What about the Pros?

Like I said, it seems to be a weak spot, so it makes me...

Curious.

Hey Kelly,

The mesh under the leading edge helps greatly with reverse flight. The mesh is present on MOST Revs, definitely on all the B-Pro kites.

It is a weak point, IMO it is the weakest part of the kite, providing the sail has wear strips for the vertical rods.
