Amazing, can't wait until I finally get to suss out how to fly the kite I have, managed to get out and give it another try, good evening for it wind wise, I took a few videos for my record on how I am getting on.
Need to add reflex to my 2-4.. Mine is an early model and it hates low wind.. it will just drop out of the sky like a stone. Do this same video with a non reflex 2-4...
Excellent point! Comparing with and without is a great idea. The Reflex design on all our Rev models greatly improves light-wind performance and stall recovery. Here is a quick video comparing with and without Reflex on our standard model, the Revolution EXP : ua-cam.com/video/XDpyQWBLIA0/v-deo.html
@@jhadzicki I've watched that vid before and this is exactly what my 2-4 does. I've said it before, there should be a "retrofit Kit" for upgrading older models to reflex. Is the 2-4 sail the same on older models vs newer ones bar the velcro tabs and reflex springs? A mylar patch with a velcro tab on attached to both sides would upgrade any normal rev to Reflex. Would you consider knocking up a "Patch" and sending a couple of them to me with some springs and I'll do a back to back review?
Although the wind is only blowing 2mph, the wing is moving at 20+ mph. So the wing is actually experiencing a 20 mph headwind which creates more power and speed.
@@jhadzicki I absolutely believe it is an efficient wing. But the claim that it generates it's own power is an impossible one. All the energy (power) comes from the steps backward and from the wind. But this is only a (formal) comment on that one line. The wing flies great! Good luck with your project!
Love the new wing!
It's an amazing wing to fly! For experienced Revolution pilots, it's a whole new experience! ua-cam.com/video/dX10bu4A7mE/v-deo.html
Incredible Joe !

Looks like the bar has been raised for indoor competitors. Tks for advancing the sport.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate your support.

Zero wind and what? Say that again.....: "it starts to generate it's own power"?! The energy problem seems to be solved! :o)
