  1. Verticals on Wrong Side

    Posted 24 Apr 2012

    Taking down my B-Vented yesterday, I noticed something strange about the setup. I checked it out on the living room floor today, and found I earned another star on my goof-up tally sheet.

    History:

    * I've managed to tangle the lines of all four of the Decorator's kites parked on the ground. During WSIKF. :kid_cussing:

    * I've adjusted my lines on my handles for one more knot of brake, and had to completely remove the handles to sort out the resulting tangle. :kid_brooding:

    And many other misadventures. But the new one may be a topper.

    * I've discovered after several years and multiple clinics, I've been putting the vertical spars on the wrong side of my vented B. I had not noticed it until yesterday ... (drum roll) ... because the bridle was also on the wrong side of the kite. :kid_frustrated: :kid_frustrated: :kid_frustrated:

    Removed the two outer leading edge spars, and easily "turned the kite inside out" so the bridle is on the side that says "Revolution" again. I'm just hoping it flies as well, with the bridle not tangled on itself. :P
  2. Lost: Line Set at WSIKF 2011

    Posted 23 Aug 2011

    Lost: Quad line set at WSIKF 2011.

    Location: Set-up, break-down area after 6x6 mega-fly.

    Description: (Poorly measured) 120' 90# sleeved with red, thin Rev bridle line.

    Fine for practice, but needs to be replaced for group flies anyway.
  3. Found: Rev II handles WSIKF 2011

    Posted 23 Aug 2011

    Found: Rev II handles at WSIKF.
    Location: immediately outside ropes near Rev II corner.

    Turned in to WSIKF Lost and Found.
  4. Rev II Corner at WSIKF?

    Posted 10 Aug 2011

    Any interest in having a Rev II get-together at WSIKF?

    Although the new B2s and intermediate models would be welcomed, it would be a blast to see how many of the single color Rev IIs could be assembled for a group photo.

    I'll be there with two Rev IIs (and of course my 1.5s with 120' lines.)

    My challenge - if you have a Rev II single color, bring it for a photo op. If you have a B2, bring it to make us all jealous. If you have a II in between, let's collect a historic perspective.

    :w00t::P
