10-04: Add 1 for me! A full vented rainbow ProB... Verrrry Sweet! No pics as of yet because it's raining cats and dogs here. :/

That brings my total up to 7! (Lucky 7!)

MANY & HUGE Thanks to Ben for choosing my design in his business card contest, Laura for the great photo, and also to Bazz for his usual beautiful job!

Edited to Add a photo! Finally! And Yes, the New Kite Curse is in full effect. Get a full vented and nature wants the Zen to fly...

Thanks Sammy! Since my Zen is so understated in design, I decided to go over the top colorwise for the full vent! Thankfully it gets rather windy around here in late fall and winter.

Nice Eyes, and so well posed.

[Reef Runner]

Bout time for a tally (?), eh John !

[--Pete]

I have one Rev, which I bought in 1989. It's colored like the kite labeled 1988 in the banner at the top of each page here. At the time, it was the only choice available.

Completely stock, with original sail, spars, bridle, handles, lineset (although I have made extra linesets of different lengths and materials).

Do you fly it? By now you should be ready to expand to 2 or even 3.

I haven't flown ANY kites for quite a while. Just too much other stuff going on. First I got back into boating after being away for 30 years. Then I was absorbed for about 10 years building a house.

Time to get back into kiting, I think. I spent an hour today digging through my kites looking for the Rev. Anyone remember what color the bag was on that original model? I found one set of lines (short; home-made) and handles. I suspect the long lines are with the kite (or maybe in one of the 3 suitcases and 5 boxes of kite junk I accumulated back in the late 80s; I've moved twice since then; things are chaotic).

I do have 30-40 SLKs and 20-30 DLKs, but just the one Rev -- it was the only Rev model there was back then. I figured why buy a second identical kite? People were just starting to stack Revs at that time, but they were really expensive compared to other kites.

The bag should be black, sometimes blue for the REV I. Length is about 40inches.

.... I'm 1 below average !!!!

On the up side, I'm hoping timings worked out so I can +2 in a few days time and correct this injustice

Yep, that sounds like an average of 9.0273437 revs/pilot............I'm down too !!

Thanks; I'll look again.

[HedgeWarden]

Update for the hedge warden:

Copped a very nice solid purple Rev II on eBay . That gives me...counting...

1. EXP
2. SLE Midvent Black Rainbow (as in formation: "would the rainbow please position correctly or leave")
3. B full sail Lime
4. B full vent Black Rainbow
5. Rev II solid blue (classic)
6. (NEW!!) Rev II solid purple (classic)

Six total, a bit below average but building.

I have the basics covered:
a. 1.5 series for most wind conditions.
b. EXP to introduce curious beginners.
c. Classics to show Rev spirit, and because Rev IIs are just fun.

Now waiting for a Masterpiece that strikes my fancy. Or maybe a Zen.

P.S. Would like to connect with the owner (at WSIKF) of the Rev II solid raspberry for photo ops.

[stroke survivor]

Howard: sent you a pm, is that what that color is called? We live in Portland, so unless we meet at a festival or something?? Will take a pic and post it here, OK??

[ChrisB]

" I fly Sky Dancers. I'll not get a Rev"

OK that was three years ago, since then

1 Exp
2 SLE 1standard & 1 Vented
1 Printed Rev Psycho

and these



That's a set of 3 Pros and a Zen, now I can't get the smile off my face, so BIG THANKS to all at REV

All the best and may the winds be on your back

[ahofer]

this is like going to confession.

1 SLE std
1 SLE fv
1 1.5B std
1 Supersonic
1 1.5B pro std
1 1.5B pro mv

Nonetheless, flying with 2 or more of my kids, we all want to use the same kite, so... I have another 1.5 mid-vent on the way. 9. sheesh.
