Materdaddy Posted May 14, 2016 Report Posted May 14, 2016 I'm a newb... what's a Rev1? Pre-curser to a 1.5? I may be interested because I wouldn't mind getting an EXP or 1.5 to start and 135 seems good, if it is new, includes lines and handles. Quote
SparkieRob Posted May 14, 2016 Report Posted May 14, 2016 A Rev 1 is like the 1.5's big brother. 9 feet wide. It's slower and more precise. Would be good to learn on. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote

The lines and handles, new, would be about $135. Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted May 14, 2016 Report Posted May 14, 2016 Rev 1 = the size of Rev's 1st kite - 9' the Rev 2 = 6' the Rev 1.5 = 7 1/2' He did say $135 + I would guess that + means extra for a more complete package. Back in the 90s they were almost $400.00 as a package!! Quote
Materdaddy Posted May 14, 2016 Report Posted May 14, 2016 The EXP is only $215 new and ready to fly straight from Revolution. That's why I thought maybe in a classified ad, it might actually be $135 ready to fly. I guess it was wishful thinking. I'll be at a kite festival tomorrow and I hope Revolution is there (they're in Poway, the festival is in Ocean Beach, San Diego). I'll be trying to get as much information as possible! Quote

Most rev pilots are very generous with their advice, time and gear. Don't be shy just go up and ask a pilot. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote
makatakam Posted May 14, 2016 Report Posted May 14, 2016 It may be $135 for the ones that have been flown, and + for the ones that haven't. I guess we'll never know unless he tells us. Quote
hyzakite Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Posted May 14, 2016 I believe the one for $135 is white with teal tips, no bag/sleeve just the kite the frame and the bridle, no international shipping, sorry Rob, I still need to go through these kites as a few are well used. Quote

My 6 stack like that is black, teal and purple with white center. Another one has black, purple and blue with teal center. 1 Quote
