Feel free to e-mail me if you don't want it on the group again. Can anyone tell me the best place to get plans for a Rev (1 or 2) ? I seem to remember it's in one of the Stunt Kite books, but which ? Has anyone tried to make one by just copying one they already have ? Where is the best place (in the US) to get the supplies ?

American Kite published the "Quadriphant" in Summer '94, but then had lawyers throwing stones at them for it... I've *think* that the Quadriphant is in SK II, but I can't find my copy, so I can't check :-( >Has anyone tried to make one by just copying one they already have ? This should be easy. It's a very simple, flat design. As always, the question about whether this is an OK thing to do is an easy one to answer - just phone Revolution on +1 619 554 1106 and ask. >Where is the best place (in the US) to get the supplies ? If you follow the instructions in my .sig, you'll quickly find the address FAQ, with a searchable database of over 800 traders and individuals.

It's a very simple, flat design. I made one without copying anything. It works, and it taught me to fly 4 line, however, it is _really_ jumpy. Probably because it is too small. There is also some SUL rev guidelines at Hawaii. -- ____________________________Andrew Hawken______________________________ "However many ways there may be of being alive, it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead" R Dawkins.
