Just wanted to post my new B-Pros.
Bazzer, I finally got to fly two of them (Mid-Vent & Standard).
All I can say is, "S W E E T".........
Thanks for doing such a good job.
People keep asking, is there really a difference ?
Well, absolutely.
Again, "S W E E T"

I've got a question, maybe a stupid question, but still a question. I have an extra set of Rev I spars (brand new), that I would love to utilize, in some of my Rev 1.5's. My question boils down to this. Can these spars be cut down by a few inches, and used in a Rev 1.5 (assuming that I measure them to the correct length)? If so, how is the best way to cut them, and is there anything that needs to be done to the raw end, after it is cut, to prevent splintering, etc. ? Has anyone done this before ?

I am currently trying out, my brand new set of JB-pros, at the coast, this week. (the very first flights) I received them, maybe a week or so, ago, and might I add, that Bazzer did a really great job, on putting these kites together, just exactly as I had envisioned.

However, I have noticed that there is something a little strange, going on, with a couple of my new Revs. It appears that the Mid-Vent & the Full Vent kites, are picking up an unusual amount of trash & debris (mainly sand), on the back side of the kites. It seems that there is some type of adhesive (just on the back side), in the narrow (3/8" seam) area, that surrounds the mesh vents, and now, after the first flight, this narrow strip around those vented areas, is pretty much coated with sand. I have sprayed them down real good, with a water hose, as I always do, when I fly at the coast, but the sand doesn't seem to wash off easily. In fact, it seems to be stuck pretty good? Even after the kite has dried, the sand still doesn't want to brush off very easy, by hand.

I was just wondering if anyone else, had experienced anything similar, with a new B-Pro ? I'm a little perplexed as to how to clean up the kites, before I pack them up for the trip home, at the end of the week? The abrasion from this sand, surely can't be good for the kites, once they get rolled up and placed in the bag, for travel.
