Revolution Blast: Maybe The Only Kite You Need

[@TA-xd4vl]

Nice job you make it look so easy

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.

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.

@@jhadzicki Hi Joe thanks for the reply, no I'm not a designer (though who knows, one day when I have time...), I was just curious how you came up with the innovation.

what set up do i need to buy for a travel kit?

[@jhadzicki]

I travel with two Revolution Reflex XX models allowing me to fly in any wind conditions and only one travel frame (which fits in either kite). kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZvWnZd4araJjas. Order a Reflex XX with Travel Frame

How short are the lines?

[@jhadzicki]

Standard line length for the Blast is 80-85 feet. I'm flying on 65 feet to improve the video presentation.
