Gross

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.

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

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.

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.
