(I think this rig needs a black bridle. Does anyone make those?)
Bill

I can check to see if I have one in black when I'm home, which won't be for a week or so.
Feel free to PM me if I forget...

Thanks! With my skills I'll probably put it on backwards. Geez.

Bill

Nice choice. Club colors, too!

[makatakam]

I have one that is very similar in a red bridle.

... I think this rig needs a black bridle. Does anyone make those? ...

If Mike doesn't have one, you might give Lolly a call at Revolution. She goes out of her way to help Rev folks and might be able to come up with one for you. Or, you can buy some black bridle line (Big Mike might be able to help with that) and make your own bridle. They are not that complicated to make.

Good looking kite ...

Cheers,
Tom

Assembled correctly.

Those "hybrid" leading edge end caps popped off the lighter rods several times after some less than graceful landings yesterday. But not "crashes" certainly.

Bill, those end caps shouldn't pop off so easily. Check the tautness of the bungees. You'll get real good fast on how to get as flat a crash landing as you can to avoid breaking rods.

Bill, I've got a black bridle. I can give it to you at the retreat--and help you put it on.

Thanks. Very nice of you. All the more reason for me to show up. (I've got the boss's OK already.)

My 1.5 SLE vented hung in there yesterday when the wind gusted to slightly over 25 mph at mid-day. I had hoped to get up to Two Rivers but was unable.

A hawk came by, too.

I couldn't resist buying this used, matching 1.5 standard.

Is there a twelve step program for Rev addiction?

Bill

In order for you to have a recovery program you have to admit there's a problem. I don't see a problem.

Good looking kites--you can never go wrong with club colors!

Bill

Um . . . . nope.

Well, you could get more Revs. That seems to help ease the symptoms a bit. Sort of like methadone . . . .
