Standard Production Revolutions
This is my second REV II. My first was flown so much that it became so stretched that it practically would not fly anymore. I exchanged the sail in 1994. My friends in Malaysia are now flying this Revolution.

Indian Revolution REV 1.5. A all white REV 1.5 made from Icarex P-31(1/2oz). This was a special project that I did together with Revolution. Revolution does not sell Revolutions made from Icarex, so don't ask them for one. I added my own applique work for my alternative ballet music for 1996. I may use this music in 1997.

This was my second rainbow REV I this time made from Icarex 1/2oz polyester. There are six Icarex tails, each 16 meters long. These tails do not have a tendancy to hang on each other like the nylon tails, except when they are wet. I won both the German and Swiss Nationals in 1994 with this REV and placed third at the EuropaCup 1994 in St. Moritz, Switzerland . If you look close you will see the autographs of many European kite pilots on the sail.
