I've just ordered a new 1.5 SLE (my first revolution).
Before I fly it should I make any changes ? It's coming as standard with Revolution lines.
Looking forwards to it as a "new enterprise", going to scare me silly..

o The handles are curved and I'd guess about 12"-14" long, are these the new or old ones that folks were referring to ?
o The lines they sent through look like 85-foot ones (so it says on the hand written lable on the winder), can't see what poundage thay are, guessing 75kg. Any changes required or start with these ?
o Lastly, Some one mentioned getting some p200 LE spars for lower wind, do I just get some and cut them to the right length or do I need some jiggery pokery also.

On an EXP the spars are Identical but the SLE leading edge is thicker I shouldn’t think you will get them mixed up. Smile
