West Australian

I have the "Pull Tabs" on some of my Light wind dual lines that are unsleeved.

 

I got a kite that came with 20# lines that already had the pull tabs fitted.

That line is so thin you would never undo the larks head without them.

Interacting with people at very close quarters requires absolute unwaivering control of your kite ... but it is SO worth the effort in getting to that point when you get the response from them.

 

I mainly do this on 30' and 50' lines, but I've done it out at 80' and 120' as well ... but the longer the lines the more you're removed from the interaction ... I like it when it's the victim volunteer, the kite AND me in the interaction.

 

 

That sounds like a lot of fun dude.

I hope to get to that level of skill one day too.

 

At the moment I am really trying to get as much air time as I can.

 

I have cut a set of 90# short Quad lines, about 32' at the moment.

I need to get some sleeving stuff to finish them though.

 

Should be good...

Dueling sounds awesome.... But keep your stack to 3 kites, no showing off....

 

No I did not use the white link line, I am a little uncertain on how to connect it.

I also used little loops on the other points to connect the links to.

 

HUGE Fun.

 

Cant wait for the next WA Revolution Club meet...

Here is my First ever Rev Stack.

 

 

So Much Fun.

 

Pulled quite hard at times too.

 

 

Utterly different animals, no comparing or replacing possible.

 

Supersonic is FAST, super high acceleration on a much higher scale than the B2 or Rev II, which are simply quicker by size but still exhibit "traditional" Rev precision... The Supersonic is a wily creature, very difficult to fly precisely, but a unique ride all it's own.

 

Wow John, you make me want all the Revs.

I am still really Happy with My B Series Set.

Hey SparkieRob, let us know how the Street Light Fly went dude.

Thanks John.

Hopefully I will get other Followers and a few more comments on my blog.

 

It is encouraging to see interest in it.

Wow Thanks Marc.

 

The Manual looks great.

I will take my time and study it.

Wow kwmf, Great insight.

Thanks for your wonderful words.

Well, It was asked for, so Here It Is......

Thanks

Thanks Rob, well if we get together for another Morning flight it might be very light winds....

 

Planning on hitting those tutorials soon John.

Not thought about doing a Blog.

If you think there will be interest I can try it.

Very Light on this morning.

0-6km/h (0-4mph) Got the STD with 2 wrap up a few times.

Mostly just working to keep it flying. Practiced sideways hovers too.

Not easy for me in the light wind, but it was heaps of fun.

 

Hoping for some strong afternoon winds.

There were some nice Stormy winds yesterday arvo.

Solid Gusts up to 45km/h(24mph) with winds mostly around 25-30km/h(15-18mph)

I had the Vented with the 4 Wrap frame. Probably my Fav Setup.

 

The Vented is nice and calm, easy to keep under control in the stronger winds.

Did some great power dives, stopping before I slam into the ground

 

This morning was the Light winds again.

So Out came the STD on 2 Wrap (3 Wrap mid LE)

A bit of work to keep it flying at times, but a nice morning.

Talk about HUMID!  Singapore was crazy, like all of my skin turned into a faucet... It was all I could do finish that performance, thighs and hamstrings were SINGING for relief halfway through.
 
I absolutely LOVE it, yes please, may I have another? <grin>
 
Ian and Rob, you guys coming to the Redcliffe Kite Festival in May, near Brisbane?
 
A full iQuad six will in attendance, would love to see you there.

 
Way to Go the extra mile there John.
You do great performances.
 
Would love to dude, but the finances do not permit Travel to Brisbane.
(4,400km or 2800mi - 2 day drive - or an expensive plane trip)
Would be great to see you guys in person one day.
 
Also John, Thanks for the B Series. 


Thanks for the Comments John, It means a lot.
Catching up with Rob has been a Huge help.
That first day out he gave me so much help. Tips, pointers, etc.
Also he gave me the confidence to Try Flying Quad Again.

Yeh Thanks Kwmf, Ive seen lots of the Zero wind videos, it is pretty cool stuff.

I don't have a Zen though, or an Indoor.

 

Hi REVflyer,

I have limited equipment, but do not consider myself poorly equiped. I do fly the STD B in very light wind. Just not in the mood for a Zero Wind Flight the other morning.

And I mean Zero Wind. The little spinner on the top of my Wind Meter would not even move.....

I have to point out that my single line SUL Gliders Will Fly easily in Zero Wind, and Infact did fly on the morning in question.

Ok Dude if you want to run around in 100F+ 70% humidity go for it.......

Longer Handles and some Short 50# Lines are on the wish list.

Also give me a break... I have only been flying Quad for a few weeks, and I Have Not missed a weekday fly yet.

I will ease myself into the Lighter winds, For now I have been flying in 2mph winds and I consider that Ok.

 

 

I had a Sweet Fly Yesterday Arvo though.

Winds 5-20km/h gusting to 35km/h lots of choppyness but heaps of Fun.

Vented with 4 wrap LE and 3 Wrap Verticals.

Practiced lots of Driving forward to the edge of the wind and reversing to the centre, tight spin and go the other way.

Awesome flight.

 

Went out again this morning too.

3-8km/h winds fairly consistent. Great for the STD with 2 Wrap Frame.

Lots of Side and Inverted Hover Practice.

 

Could be some stormy winds here this arfternoon, I look forward to that.
