Rev Stacks

Rev Stacks

This looks interesting (but pricey)…

To have some one else make all the stacking lines, rig the kites and get them to fly well it's worth it :D

Don't forget you are getting effectively a custom Rev 1, a new 1.5 and a custom Rev 2.

They are easy (ish) to fly and great fun.

Every rev flier needs at least 1 stack 8)

I had a go of a progressive stack at a kite fest last weekend.
I found it was really wobbly :lol:

I personally won't be parting with any pennies for it.

I prefer the rev 2 stacks :cool:

the stack you flew probly wasnt tuned any stack will have a wobble if it is not tuned right .. this is due to 1 stack line being longer the another its simple to do and will make it fly much better

I frequently fly a stack of dual liners, enjoy it, but you have to have the lines spot on otherwise the kites don't follow properly, and yes they do wobble, but get the lines right and it is pure precision, all doing exactly the same together.

Had a go with stacking revs, but not progressively. I managed to resolve the wobbles, but I am afraid it didn't set me alight - all pull and much less precision. I guess I am just not into stacks.

with stacks you cant do as much as you can with a single but it is cool to see 3 or more kite flying at one time .. its more of a showoff thing then anything else.. a good way to catch the eye of the spectator
