... and eyes, and dragons, and, and ,and.......don't forget the vented rev II, the SS, vented and non, a regular stack, and a progressive stack. This is my partial wish list. But a vented 1.5, B preferred is at the top of my list right now. It's March.

The SUL version is a bit lighter with its lighter leading edge material and bridle, but it's not a huge weight difference. The sail material is the same: .6 oz ripstop Polyester. You can come pretty close with a Race Rod frame in a standard sail, though a dedicated SUL or Indoor will take less effort to fly in the the lightest winds.

order a B-series
with the SUL leading edge sleeve, (direct from the factory)
get the standard bridle
a complete race frame,
REV's extended length handles,
50# LaserPro Gold flying line, 35 or 50 or 70 feet in length.
Practice the "float" until it's second nature, then
enjoy all those no wind days!
Paul,
Is the SUL leading edge added to the B series remove the vent screen?
Thanks,
Joe

Technique is 90% of the game, having a variety of equipment just makes it easier.
I watched JB and Steve De Rooy fly my std. B series with a full Race frame, 90# LPG 85ft lines at night, with no wind at all. In fact, Steave said "the air was thick, which made no wind kite flying better."
It was amazing
