CLTKiter Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I have two Rev 1.5's that I stack together with train lines bought from my kite store. The leading edge of the 1.5 is 92", and the train lines, when assembled, come to about 55". That comes out to train lines about 60% of the length of the leading edge. My questions... 1. Is that the correct length train lines for stacking a Rev 1.5? I assume so, but thought I'd ask others. 2. If stacking Rev II's, does that mean that the train lines should be about 43"? 3. If stacking Rev I's, does that mean the train lines should be about 65"? 4. Now the tough one... If stacking a Rev I, Rev II and Rev 1.5 together, should they be stacked with smallest one (i.e. Rev II) in the front? And if so, what length train lines would be used for each portion of the stack? 43" for between the Rev II and 1.5? Followed by 55" between the Rev 1.5 and I? Or should it be the larger pair of train lines -- 55" between the Rev II and 1.5 and 65" between the 1.5 and I? This may just be a set of academic questions, but several folks in the WACKOS are thinking of pulling together a stack just like this.

Penny Lingenfelter Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I've heard 2/3 the length of the leading edge is good. Or is it 1/3? Nope, I think 2/3. But I've seen them short and I've seen them long. Experiment and see. I kept my stack lines the same length when I stacked 3 different sizes. No problems. It is all up to you. Good luck.

CLTKiter Posted March 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Thanks Penny. 2/3 would fit along with the length that I have on my 1.5's. Now let's see what the WACKOS wind up doing. I always appreciate your posts. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lingenfelter Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 YOur welcome Doug. Hey next time I'm down south, can I expect some fried okra? yummmy! My son is in S.Carolina. BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTKiter Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Penny, my wife makes the best fried okra I've ever tasted (she's from TN). Remember that Charlotte is very close to the SC border. You can clearly drop in anytime. Later, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Is that the correct length train lines for stacking a Rev 1.5? I found this Site which sells train lines directly from Revolution & implies that Revolution uses 5' (60") trains. That's pretty damned close to your own guesstimate So you posted your Q back in March... what are your findings - care to share? Thx & cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTKiter Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hey Trav, Been out of town the passed week. Haven't really found anything additional to what you and Penny mentioned. Haven't had a chance to talk with the WACKOS guys who were looking to do the hybrid stack. Maybe they'll post what they've done. Thanks for the link.

Penny Lingenfelter Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I"ve always seen stacks smallest in front. But if the name waco's apply, I'd love to see them try it differently and post a pic. We're waiting. I'm a lazy kind of kite flyer and fly with only 4 lines sometimes, but 6 or 7 is better.
