I don't remember what year the original delta was released, but I know for certain it was no later than '95 -- and it wouldn't surprise me if it were '93 or '94.

Thanks for the correction, Kent. Just goes to show how little I pay attention to the 1.5 SLE!

The SLE STD and SUL are basically identical, except that the SLE has the Super Leading Edge and 3 wrap verticals, while the SUL is a full two-wrap frame. They share the same sail (ripstop poly). Frankly, I can't recall if a lighter weight bridle is used on the SUL, but I don't believe so. There's absolutely no comparison in wind range -- the SUL with 2s will fly in very light wind, as you'd expect from the name. The SLE will perform much better in higher winds, but is still not a frame choice selected by many people any more (too stiff, not worth the weight, etc.)<br /><br />The advantage to buying the SUL is that if you want, you could always purchase an SLE leading edge and use it in the same kite.<br /><br />The biggest downside to the SUL is, if you're new to the Rev, it's a more fragile frame to be learning on. Not that it can't be done. But it's worth pointing out.

That's fine - you know where I live - send me all the money you want!!!

But if I send you money, how will I be able to keep complaining about not getting the kite I want?!

Will Elliott do black center panels? I was also wondering if you have any kind of template that we could customize as well?

I've been trying to get Eliot to make me a black center sail for almost a year now and he keeps blowing me off with excuses! C'mon, man, I'm trying to give you money!
