Six-Part Lesson to Rev Mastery by Revolution Kites

A six-part lesson to go from zero to Rev master, on a Reflex XX Full Sail in light wind, with one principle: do not chase tricks without a solid foundation.

From the series Progression and mastery. Transcript by QuadKites.org.

Key takeaways from this video

The main lesson: avoid chasing high-level tricks without a solid foundation.
In wind of 10 miles per hour (about 16 km/h) or less, an XX Full Sail suits; in more wind, a vented model, Tarantula or Spider.
The goal is not to fly the Rev at random, but to feel precision control through handle rotation, without pulling.

Introduction to the lesson
0:00
Hi, I'm Joe Hadzicki, inventor of the Revolution, and today we're going to do a six-part lesson that will take you from zero to Rev master. That doesn't mean you're going to fly like these guys after six lessons, but my goal is to make the path to Rev mastery crystal clear for you. The biggest lesson you can take from this is to avoid chasing high-level skills without a basic foundation. Okay, let's get started.
Setting up the conditions
1:39
Today I'm flying the Reflex XX Full Sail. My conditions are light, 10 miles an hour or below. If you're going to fly in higher wind conditions, you might want to consider a better model, for example the XX Tarantula with this Vented system, or the Super Tarantula with a smaller 1.5 model, like a Spider or Super Spider RX. The goal of this is not to randomly fly a Rev around the sky. The goal is to get a feel for that precision control, those handle rotations, and to not pull. At this point, Rev mastery is within reach.
