In Topic: Eliot Shook mesh weave info

Sorry Wayne, that request is simply not a reasonable expectation in this electronic day and age, proprietary knowledge and all.  Rev doesn't share their dimensions publicly.  If you want to know exactly what size one is, then you need to borrow or acquire it

 

I suspect Waynes intention is to take the guesswork out of the equasion for would-be buyers, not copyright infringement. One could argue that it is similarly unreasonable to expect a buyer (especially ones in other countries or no access to someone with the various options) to shell out the $$$ on a guess and hope they got it right.

 

We've all seen that the knockoff companies and those who make something for personal use have had no problem at all getting the specifics (right down to signature copies) so I doubt a partial photo showing how the viarious block sizes relate to each other would make any difference at all.

 

Not my business, not my call, but I think that the request is valid and, done correctly, such an image can assist potential buyers without assisting would be copy cats (who already make the mesh).

 

My $0.02 ... YMMV

I visited the post office yesterday for a slightly late present (and the first Pros for John Erasmus)

;-)

 

Even though I already own a number of Pros myself for some time now, every time I see a new Pro from Bazzer it's just jaw dropping ... that man makes a mighty fine product.

You guys are the best... I assure you that I will be back at some point. This year is not looking likely (unless you win that lotto Wayne), but you definitely ain't seen the last of me. I'm compensating by spreading some rev love out here, check out the AeroShark page in my signature (don't forget to click the like button).

In Topic: rev 1 frames

Wow! That's rare to break a 4 wrap. Where did it break. How many pieces.

 

Just out of interest, of the three rods I've broken during my Rev life ... 2/3 were 4 wrap spars.

 

The last one (a 3-wrap) was because I ran out of talent when playing with the waves and paid for my mistake. Of the two 3-wraps that I broke, the first one was a hard rotational contact with the ground while trying to learn an inverted hover and the other was contacting the beach sand during an inverted side slide (there wasn't that much wind, that was just the frame I had in at the time).

 

Nothing to do with the Rev 1 but my point is that (at least in my experience) it isn't that hard to break a 4 wrap - especially when one runs out of the talent or experience to keep the gear 'safe' in the prevailing conditions or environment.

Also, Team Free Agents is still going strong.


And I still carry the pin ;-)
