Which is best for a complete newbie for a place with less winds ….. 5-10mph winds

Hi Joe. What length likes are you using in this video please. 71 year old in England who has just found your channel😃👍 looks like I could have fun with this with my grandchildren as well as myself. Do you sell any ex demo models ??? Cheers John 😃😃👍👍

Awesome John! I'm flying with 30 foot lines (10 meters) in this video. Most Revolution kites come with 20 or 30 meter lines. I like 10 meter for video shots. Here is a quick video exploring two suggestions for your firs Rev kite: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7eUa61puNCtdZc.html. Contact the shop for possible demo models for sale: [email protected]

@@jhadzicki thanks for replying Joe. Have sent off a message to lollyh to see if any thing available. Ideally watching this video, a reflex XX or the Tarantula I think would be perfect.

Hi Joe, thanks for the great videos and tutorials. Unfortunately, you can't see your hands and the position of the controls very well. It's always too short and then there's no time to see what happens when you make a move. Can this be changed please? I'm still looking for the right model for me and the right line length

whats the difference between rx or xx?

@jhadzicki 17 күн бұрын

The Revolution RX is based on a 31 inch frame. All 5 shafts are 31 inches long. The Leading edge is 3 shafts at 31 inches for a total of 93 inch wingspan. The Rev XX is based on 33 inches (giving a 99 inch wingspan and a height of 33 inches. The slightly larger wing adds stability making it easier to learn basic and advanced skills. The XX is also capable of flying in lighter conditions, including 'zero-wind' indoor flying: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibNdiJeHq9W7go0.html

I'd be very interested in a "behind the scene" video. How do you work on your designs, how do you work on the shapes and weight of your wings, do you have virtual simulators (I don't think that exists for kites :D) or is it just try-test-and-improve? I get it that you may not want to share all your secrets, but the Revs are elegant and powerful, and I wonder how you get to your final designs.

@jhadzicki 17 күн бұрын

Cool @nik, are you a designer? The original Revolution design was an inspiration based on aircraft design. Basically 2 independently controlled wings. It came to me after months of experimenting with the single-wing 'delta' design. Once the basic design worked, we developed the graphite frame to support the necessary wingspan.

@garrettschultz127 26 күн бұрын

Hey Joe, looking for some advice. Live in the Midwest-Nebraska. Always a little breezy. I would say an average of 6-10mph sustained with 15mph wind gusts (obviously some days worse and others better). I like up close trick flying, often 30ft lines, not looking for fast or powerful. I have been thinking the XX Tarantula but wanted to get your thoughts?!? I’ve flown dual line framed kites but new to quads.

@jhadzicki 26 күн бұрын

Great question Garrett! My conditions are light (5-10 mph). This sounds similar to yours. My constant 'go-to' is the XX. If I had slightly higher conditions, 8-12mph, I would go with my favorite model, the XX Tarantula. I travel with 2 models: The XX, and the XX Super Tarantula (Full vented model of the XX). With these two models, I can fly in virtually any conditions from 0-25+ mph. I suggest the XX, and then next, a vented model for the occasional bigger days.

@garrettschultz127 26 күн бұрын

@@jhadzicki thanks so much for the input. I probably downplayed our wind conditions a little. For instance, right now it’s 10mph and gusting at 16mph. If these were the conditions always, would you recommend the XX Tarantula? Or do you still recommend the regular XX for a first kite? Not sure if they fly differently.

Hello from Europe, I could eventually enjoy my Rev (XX Tarantula) on the beach the whole summer and it was such a pleasure. I had another 4-lines before (Orao 500) which was really cool to start and learn new reflexes after years of flying delta wings, but the Rev is really amazing, precise and super powerful. Even a bit too powerful on high winds, it goes so fast that a tiny mistake leads to a crash but that's on me :) Kudos to the team, your kites are amazing
