Flynhi Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Name: My first Revolution Kite flight Category: Quad Line Date Added: 19 September 2014 - 12:42 AM Submitter: Flynhi Short Description: Purchased a Rev 1.5 SUL. Here I am flying in Mesa, AZ. A video of my first flights with a Revolution kite. Filmed on Sept 13, 2014 at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ. I am very new to quad line kites. I am slowly learning the basics. Any questions/comments feel free to post.

Wayne Dowler Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 If I look right - aren't you one of the guys that came out to Portland awhile back? If that is an SUL, it sure wouldn't have survived the wind we had that day at Delta!! Does it have a light weight leading edge pocket and a bridle made from 90# flying line? If so - that's an SUL, if not, ??? I thought I recognized the other kite on the ground! Yeah, I'm on here too, as well as FB!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Looks like a nice place to play ! Especially with water that doesn't threaten to crush your kite when you land in it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwavesailor Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 If this is truly your very first day as a Rev flyer, all I can say is..............nice flying! My 1st day on the lines was not like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Best Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Wow! I'm a new quad guy too but I can tell you I'm lagging behind your skills. I think I need to park my dual line foils for a while and focus more on my Rev! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynhi Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I didn't realize there were replies on this post! Sorry for the delay! This video was my first time flying a Revolution kite. I had around 100 hours with an off brand quad lines kite. 25 of those were trying to figure out how to get the darn thing in the air! I wish I found the JB vids earlier. Wayne: Yes, I am me from the past. The kite is indeed a SUL and would not have survived that day in Portland.Thanks for flying and meeting up with us! Since this video I have put in well over 50 hours of air time with the SUL. I am finally reaching the point of flying the rev like a quad line instead of a dual lined kite. This park is my favorite place to fly because it is 1 mile from my home. I'll be posting more vids on my channel in the near future. Thanks for watching! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwavesailor Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 OK.................. 1st time on a Rev, but not on a quad makes me feel a little better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I thought I recognized that quad on the ground!! I remember you saying you had gotten a Rev, and no, it definitely wouldn't have survived the Delta day we had! Nice spot to fly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Best Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I had around 100 hours with an off brand quad lines kite. Ahhhh.......so there is hope for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 There's hope for everyone that picks up a Rev!! It's a matter of putting in the time to learn it! Some do, others don't, it's not something that just comes naturally! (Well for most of us!) But it isn't so complicated that it can't be tamed, then controlled, then partnered with, to make a strong combo of flier and kite! Nothing replaces - Time On The Lines!!!
