I have both a Rev I and a Rev II and the Rev II is beyond any doubt "outa control!" too fast and on its nose...on the ground most of the time when flying on 50 ft lines... :) I love it! The Rev I on the same 50 ft 80 pound lines is an absolute blast. I can fly in almost 0 wind by "swinging" the kite keeping it in motion... is this how indoor flying is done?

I think the Rev II likes a lot of wind, I was flying it in 20 mph winds and it was flying very well. >I love it!

The rev 1 handles are longer, better for flying in the lighter winds that the larger kites flies in. > I love it! Me too, hardly ever fly anything else 8-) You might wanna look into the long throw ultra light wind handles, much longer than the other handles, and ones i use all the time, regardless of the wind conditions 8-) > Revolution: More fun than should be legal!
