Gross

[riffclown]

 That's Right. One gross of endcaps to make 24 more kites.. I should be well stocked for a while now.

just wondering,

do those caps fit Rev tubes, or just those of a slightly slimmer diameter (Skyshark for example)

[riffclown]

Paul, these are the Freilein caps, they only fit original Rev tubes prior to the total refit at Rev... They do not fit what Rev is producing now.  I only use Skyshark to make frames anyway..  The "inny" type connectors that Rev uses now makes a rod with a small split completely unusable.. A cap that covers the rod can tolerate a rod that has a 1/4" split in the end and has been glued since it covers and stabilizes the fracture.

[Paul LaMasters]

Wasn't concerned about reflex diameter tubes, just knowing that other builders make kites that don't fit rev's 1/4 inchers unless the caps are swapped out first

[riffclown]

Understood.. These fit Freilen, Skyshark and the older Rev Frames.

At the rate you are going, "a while" will be a month or two.

Where did you get them, if you don't mind me asking?  I'm working on a few quads right now, and I've never found any supplier where I can get a large number of Rev-compatible end caps (old-school Rev) for a reasonable unit price.

Will do. I'm hoping today's the day I'll finish up (minus the end caps and bungies, of course)...

Has anyone tried 3 or 4 wrap Rev rods in those caps? The ones that Bazzer uses are metric and will not use Rev rods in the 3 or 4 wrap size. You might get them on, but almost impossible to get off. 3 or 4 wraps will fit if you take a 5/16" drill bit and carefully ream them out. No issues with SkyShark.

They do get tight.. I use Skyshark most of the time now but I have been known to sand the inside of the caps a bit if needed to get the fit I want.

And Gross again!! Whoop!!

Here's to the next 24 kites.
