Thanks a lot! I got a chance to fly the original Rev 1 and 2 back in the late '80s/early '90s, but I couldn't afford one as a kid. It's been about 2 years since I bought my first Rev.
Jo mate where is the exact difference in flight / control behavior of XX Super Tarantula and the RX Super Spider? Optical its only the size and the curved Edge, get me if iam wrong. Can't decide wiche one to buy ... hope you can help :)
Hey, MajestX23. Those two models are very different. The XX Super Tarantula is heavily vented, but it still has a wide wind range. I bought this one as a "high wind" option, but it quickly became my go-to kite. It only needs around 6 MPH of wind to fly, and can handle much stronger winds than the non-vented version. I prefer to fly it on lighter days; I'd say the "sweet spot" for this kite is 8-15 MPH - it feels perfect. As for the handling, the XX series are like the luxury cars of the range; they deliver the smoothest ride, are very precise, and they float like paper planes. Both vented models, the Tarantula and Super Tarantula, reverse and slide sideways better than the non-vented version. For me, the Tarantula is for the very lightest winds, and the Super Tarantula is more of a general workhorse. The RX Super Spider is *definitely* a strong wind kite. I would not consider flying it in less than around 10 MPH wind. It is even more drastically vented than the Super Tarantula, which makes its handling feel very light and sharp - it like having the mouse sensitivity turned up. It took a while before I could be precise with the Super Spider, at first, I was constantly overshooting turns and dive-stops. But I got used to the handling over time and grew to love it - becoming precise with this model makes flying the XX models feel like slow motion, it tightens up my game. While it doesn't glide as well, the extreme venting enables 3D moves in stronger winds. I've nailed 3D catches with the Super Spider in winds I have no business doing so in, and it can do flic-flacs (which the XX series absolutely refuse to do). In summary: The XX Super Tarantula will serve as a reliable workhorse, while the RX Super Spider is a little bonkers, and specifically for strong winds.
@@__revbox Huge thanks for sharing the experience. I just ordered the XX Tarantuala and will report back. I have been flying stunt kites for over 10 years. Now it's time for something new

HI ikangozuna5360. I put the details in the video description.
Hello.
How many feet of LINE are you using?
I want to be as good as you.
Thanks, ZEIRAM. I'm using 30 foot lines, and 15 inch handles in this video.
May i ask, how long are these lines?
The lines are 9 metres / 30 feet.
What does this cost to buy one?
Hey Cable Pratt. It's $289 for this model, lines and handles will run you about $100 on top. I've put the details in the description.
