Wanted - Revolution Stunt Kite


Anyone have a used Rev stunt kite for sale?

Complete with lines & handles would be great also.

Had a Rev 1.5 years ago (and a Power Blast 2-4) and would like to add a Rev back into my quiver.

Thanks!

Joe

Let's just call me an expert. Spend the money and get the Rev 1.5 standard. If you need a second, go with the 1.5 vented.

Don't go for the "kite dejur" like rev 1, rev 2, New York Minute, Reflex or any of that other crap where they (unfortunately) needed to change so that all the freaks (like me!) bought all their offerings.

They are all slightly different and that difference means that you cannot pick them up and fly like a normal Rev.

As me about the 6 Blasts that I never fly!

With that said...they are all over 'the bay so that would be a good place to start.

Get the regular 1.5 and never look back.

However, if you want a custom kite I would send you DIRECTLY to RiffClown since his creations are absolutely amazing fliers. Great kites, great seller, great overall.

I can recommend the 3 winds quad kites. They are flown by the "pros" around here, and I have one which is a precision machine. They are reasonable priced new compared to some of the other name brands. Available from Theresa at The Kite Shoppe. https://thekiteshoppe.com/

Reflex is literally paper clips and velcro pads used to flex and shape the wing a bit. It was a way to keep putting "patented" on the packaging. It allows the kite to glide on slack lines..( I think they call it auto glide or something.)

That's not quite what I do but the Texas Flag is straight forward enough I'll chat with you about it. Send me a Private message and we'll discuss.. BTW, There's only 2 sizes..72" and 93"
