So today I spent about 3.5 hours at the Burlington Prairie with my first Rev flight attempt. Barely any wind for the first couple of hours which made it a challenge. The first issue was the left upper bridle connection had come apart. So I had to reverse engineer that by looking at the opposite side. I'm sure that I don't have the exact same knots but the lengths and connections all appear to be the same.
I have been watching the various tutorials and had some idea of what to do. The first launch got the kite about halfway up the center of the wind window. Whereupon it gracefully spun over and descended slowly onto the leading edge. That was about the best of the next hour's worth of attempts. Various spins, weird darts and other indescribable flight maneuvers ensued. Part of the problem was that I was reacting using dual-line pulls and pushes. Definite negative transfer. Nearly every launch ended with a walk to the kite for a reset. The few times I was able to get the kite to near the top of the wind window for a bit I was able to think before doing and control it correctly.
By the last hour, the wind was much more consistent and so was I. Almost every takeoff and landing was under control. Very few walks to the kite. I could fly to the top of the window. Back down and generally maneuver to either side of the wind window. The wind did quit once while I was at the edge but I was able to soft land in the grass and clover.

A couple of impressions for what it's worth. Dual-line seems to me to be much easier to pick up. More intuitive I guess. The quad-line kite looks to be more precise but may take more practice for just the basics. Finally, to me the bottom control lines were too slack. So not as much precision at times. Or maybe I was just holding the handles incorrectly.
But I had fun.
