Our shipment of the 20th Anniversary Rev just arrived as well! We still have several available but they are going fast. Those of you who have put your names on the pre-order list - don't worry! You'll be getting yours very soon!

If I do get one of these I plan on flying the 
out of it.
One thing just crossed my mind, with the B-Series panels on one side how will that effect the handling as we know what will happen with eventual sail stretching?
Does it make this kite fly different off the table in fact, the few times I have flown the B-Series I have noticed the slight increasing pull it produces during turns which is why I'm thinking this will be an off balanced flyer at some point.
Then again that could be a benefit, light right turns and bulldog lefts, could be an ultra flat Weider axle machine from hell
Oh well just me rambling and always questioning things

Its not a rambleing at all Fortflyer.I had the same train of thought.
HO NO,Ive just realised, We are,, RAMBLE-RS,,[old people ramble in the uk.walk and climb up and down dale].Im certainly not old enough to be a rambler
Fair question Fortflyer.Hopefully i will know before the end of the week.

As a little added motivation to get out and about to events, check out this groovy shirt... Far as I know, they're for promotion only.
Keep an eye out for contests, giveaways, etc.
How ya like them JNCO's Ant? <grin>

Fine figure of a Man Bri.
Your looking good too Jim.
Best thing to see is the "Dog with two tails" look on all your faces.

It's not the size of your Rev.. its how you use it.
Seven days without flying a Rev makes one weak.
