Looking for a REVOLUTION

combatcamp - 1-3-2012 at 02:04 PM

Looking to add a REV to my collection, Any closet stunters looking to part with one?

Have you talked to Dave at the Kite Connection? I haven't in a year or so but I used to get emails from him about specials he had on Rev inventory. Or try posting on the forum at GWTWkites.com.

Hey give me a call! May have something you may like!

rocfighter - 1-3-2012 at 03:39 PM

I beleive there are a couple Connor Durran Dare To Dream rev's still availible. Very good price and a good cause too. Check him out on FB.

B-Roc - 1-3-2012 at 03:44 PM

Anyone know how to make a knock off and call it a Rev? Those guys love others imitating their design ;-):ticking::flaming:

lamrith - 1-3-2012 at 03:53 PM

I already shared this link with Ray, but www.revkites.com also has a forum in case others are looking...

Sorry to veer.... First thing that come to mind

I have a indoor model if your interested. No wind required :)

rocfighter - 1-3-2012 at 04:44 PM

Deano those are sweet. I would love one. But no place around here to fly indoor. I'd have to make friends with a school or something. And the closest one of those is 20miles away!

DAKITEZ - 1-3-2012 at 04:57 PM

or outside when there is no wind :)

Um.... WOW what an eye opener!! Flew for the 1st time in months today, met a local revkite.com forum member at Kitehenge (Chambers bay).

He walked me thru some set-up, then set me loose. Twitchy and sensitive is an understatement! It takes a bit to retune responses to minor movements and not pulling entire side to turn.

Raym try to get a REv vet to help you out the 1st day, they are a different animal than a quad power kite. 10-15min with a pro can save lots of hassle. But you are gonna love it!:wee:

I took a full 30min of video, but my editiing software has decided not to boot up, so I am trying to get it sorted out..

:lol::thumbup:

lamrith - 5-3-2012 at 07:05 AM

Here is the clip of 1st flight. Well I had a brief 5min session before I realised I had not pulled the camera out..

1st Rev flight

The hard part is retuning your hands. Tiny movements have the rev spinning.

BigMikesKites - 5-3-2012 at 08:26 PM

ya, i can't fly a Power kite, then go fly my Revs...i crash them all over the place. If i fly them first, I'm fine.

lamrith - 6-3-2012 at 06:24 AM

HEH yeah I did a 15min sesion on my 3.3m Buster mid-day, going back the the rev was exciting for the 1st min or two!

I can't do anything fancy on a rev yet so luckily I was not in a position to put myself in tooo much trouble..

WELDNGOD - 6-3-2012 at 08:19 AM

Hey Lam,that Rev will teach ya some skilz!:cool2:

lamrith - 6-3-2012 at 09:05 AM

It already is! Really scary thing is I ALMOST flew it at home lastnight, but by the time I got out there the winds started shifting 90* and getting all puffy so I said forget it.

Note to self : need some shorter 30-50ft lines..:singing:

Just found a local guy looking to sell a B series midvent. making me a nice deal, now to sell some plasma or a kid to buy it....:bigok:

lamrith - 19-3-2012 at 12:24 PM

Ohhh my. What a weekend!

Spent 2 days with the iQuad team at thier West Coast Rev Clinic. AWESOME group of guys. Anyone looking to fly a rev, or that can and wants to fly better keep your eyes open on the Revkites.com website. These clinics are more than worth the investement! Flew John Baressi's shortline setup for a good hour, nothing like getting to Fly on a Pro's equipment.

Bought a second Rev on Sat, they are worse than power kites, the RULE is you can't have only one. So I have to follow the rules...

:bigok:

awindofchange - 19-3-2012 at 03:29 PM

Lets just say I have way more Rev's than my wife knows I have. :)

lamrith - 19-3-2012 at 05:46 PM

HAHA Too True Kent!

Thanks again for getting me my 1st REv dosage, I spread word to eveyone how good your service is..

Now anyone interested in a R2F PL Venom2 19m in great shape? Will take trades for Rev's!!!:bouncing::spin:

rocfighter - 20-3-2012 at 03:50 AM

Look up Tak Omega on FB he is trying to sell a few sweet revs to raise funds for some medical issues he is having. His kites are better cared for then most kids!!!:lol:

lamrith - 20-3-2012 at 06:05 AM

Roc,
Thanks for th heads up. Right now I am tight (hence looking to sell/trade the Venom) BUT, he is right here a few min away, so I added friend and will get in touch with him, he is a Iquad member it sounds like, they are GOOOD people.

Kent, don't you have her convinced that it's OK because they're "art"? (and they truly are!)

lamrith, check my sig. As you now understand, I'm not kidding! I got my Rev from AWOC too. Welcome to the other addiction ;-)

lamrith - 20-3-2012 at 11:20 AM

Haiguy - Ohh I had no doubt.. #2 rev is "in the bag" already and #3 I will have in the next week or so, both used from locals.

If I can sell the Venom off I may hit up Tak if he still is looking to sell. BUT 5 billion Arcs just hit the market this week, damn P2 release!!:flaming:

awindofchange - 20-3-2012 at 03:47 PM

I think I am over 40 Rev's now in my bags.... some are special to me in one way or another, most are masterpiece Rev's. Anyone wanting to see my collection, you can check it out over on the Rev Forum in the gallery.

Here's a link:

Haven't updated it in a bit, have a couple more that I need to add in there...

one of my fav rev vids

the kite dances better than i do at 2:09

lamrith - 21-3-2012 at 06:12 PM

Yeah John is the man.. Even more impressive to whatch. He is there teaching a class starts a maneuver comes back down and turns his back on the kite before it is even in landing position... and lands it cleaner than I can paying attention :-p:crazy:
