I would say the LE material is basically the same, it may differ with the year the kite was made, just like the colors change with the material they are buying at the time. I can't see too much stretching of mylar with those bungee cords. My rods stick out about a 1/2 to an inch on each side being that the LE is cut at an angle. I haven't flown this supersonic, maybe mine will bunch up too.

A posting awhile back mentioned about fitting the 1.5 rods in a suitcase diagonally, once you are where you are going put the rods in the sail and put the kites in the sleeves, when you go home just reverse that process.

This might be normal for the speed series. It depends on what you mean by bunched up, these leading edges do roll over and do look different then the rev 1's 1.5's and 2's.

WOW, Another great Masterpiece!

If you want a 1.5b to start with and you're on a budget, I'd get a lesser of a first rev 1.5 to beat on, an exp with handles, instructions, video, line set, and a 120' line set to boot, will be a lot cheaper, if you was budget minded. Once you learn to drive, then buy your Corvette.
