What I found really good with Guidos modified REV was the consistency and quality of the Flic-Flacs and the axels.

Yes I agree but it's not just the sticks he also has a modded bridle ? doesn't he

totally forgot to add that thanks man

ben ill say it again..its a great idea and if you do make them im in for a set but if you do make them will the be just the sticks them selves?? or the tension lines too?? a whole set would be great (sticks tension lines and connectors) but the only down side here is that the current kites rev makes being able to take the quad sticks without renforcement to the sails to accomidate the quad stick set

Take a look at the way the 5 time European Quadline Champion, Guido Maiocchi does it. He uses this at all competitions.
There is no modification to the actual REV sail.
I would say that a kit would need at least these parts:
- two standoffs
- two end pieces for the tension lines
- two T connectors for the down spars
- tension line set
- instructions for installation

Sometimes no bridle!

I'll try to buy some eventually, but I'm gonna be flat out of money here in a bit. I'm buying a new 1.5 sail and some headphones (My MP3 player with my headphones went through the washing machine. My MP3 player still works(and now it's squeeky clean), but my headphones don't)

No... SanDisk thing. iPods are too pricy for me.

I went with the Zen Vision:M, been really happy with it... No need for that annoying iTunes, I can use it on anyone's computer and transfer photos from a card reader directly.

Yeah, mine's quite simular. It just uses Windows Media Player. I don't like iTunes much. I do use Lime Wire a lot though!

I have the 80 Gb ipod and its kinda like overkill, but hey I have over 10,000 songs to fly with in all different genres. I will stand by the ipod name, I think they are top of the line. Everyone has there own opinion though. I would die without lime wire lol

If anyone wants info on quad sticks a good person to talk to would be Steve Pigeon. He made a instructional video on how to put them on your Rev. Honestly it is very cheap. He is also on this forum under "steve and sherri", "steve pigeon" or you can email him at SunsetFlyers (at) MSN (dot) Com. Im sure you could ask him to send you the instructional dvd. He will answer any questions you have and more.I myself actually learned this from my Uncle Jay Nunes. Steve is my stepfather so I'm sure I can get a copy from him if anyone wants it.

Well I just figured I would throw my two cents in about this again. I have flown with quad sticks for a long time now and this morning I decided I would cut them of and try to fly without them and see if it made a difference in the way the Rev flys and as I thought it did. My advice to anyone who has been asking about them is if you can fly well without them then don't put them on, the biggest thing I noticed today when flying without them was that my sail was filling up with a lot more wind. When you have quad sticks on they push on the sail and limits its ability to hold the wind. When you try and fly on those days where the wind is not the best and you need that extra lift it won't be there cause your quad sticks will reduce your ability to utilize what little wind there is. Now if your a beginner, throw them on they will make your life ten times easier, but for the more experienced, you can if you want to try them but its better without.

Very interesting. I was waiting for a review from someone who didn't already own them and flew for the first time. I wonder what happen with Ben looking into Rev making them?

[mcruzzer]

Ant,
Was that a pure stock Rev with quad sticks that Paul LaMasters let you fly? He does a lot of other things to many of his Revs (bridle changes, frame changes, etc). Just wanted to ask since there needs to be an apples-to-apples comparison (ie, stock Rev with quad sticks vs. stock Rev without).
