DonFibonacci Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Back in early 2016, my friend ("flynhi" here) and I were discussing how a Rev B pattern could make a pretty cool "Arizona flag" kite. I'd just starting flying Revs and only had an EXP, but at the time I thought maybe I'd colorize a B Pro when I'm worthy. Then life got a bit busy and I took an unplanned and unfortunately-timed hiatus from kiting. I came back to it in the spring of 2018 ready to move on from my EXP. Lo and behold, some major stuff had gone down with Revolution during my absence! I did a lot of detective work on the forums to piece together what happened (still not sure, but I got the gist). Luckily, I was just in time to be able to find a stock B Standard, which I LOVE. No luck on custom colors for my dream kite though. So, I decided to make it myself. I've unofficially nicknamed it John McKite in honor of Senator John McCain, who passed away during the time I was building it. Now that I think of it, maybe it should be John McQuad. Anyway, I wanted a more coppery color for the center "star" but the orange is pretty close, even more so when it's in the air. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezin Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Love the concept. Very cool. Looks like a Mcquad to me but I wear glasses . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
