All good advice! Thank you. I'll look into frame adjustments.

Yes. exactly. I am still on stock frame. That's interesting.

Spot on! Wow. And the tech was very helpful with suggestions for other struts to lighten its weight for TN winds. Thank you thank you thank you!

And thank you for the NTK reference!!! I've been on Google for years over the Volks.

Thank you for your response. The Volksquad is exactly that... the people's quad. She a heavy albatross and exposes more potential for grace. Though she's a great introductory quad, very forgiving, and though she's a heavy lass requiring some wind... I love her for her grace and her ability to take the ground square in the face and come up smiling. Love, we can't explain. She's much different than a Rev. I also own a Rev and a Zen for the light days. My problem with the Zen is she likes to fold up on herself after all that money. But that's me learning her limits.

I would also LOVE some info on Volksquad parts... I've been searching, off and on, for years.

I'm not so new to kites. A few years running. I raised an eyebrow when my dad went on vacation and brought back a two-stringer, as a gift, so many years ago. I entertained him. "Ah! A... kite!" Went on vacation to the beach later that year and noticed how quickly that vacation went just flying that thing! I was hooked. Immediately. Then a year or two went by and I saw the "Rev aus fano 2009" vid (Youtube)... That vid prompted me to buy my first quad. I have been in love with The Dance ever since. Unfortunately, I am land-locked in Tennessee... with hills and trees churning up my straight winds. I am all ears if anyone has any input for the Knoxville area and day-trips with kite in hand. Please... I have a friend in tow who's interested, too. Many thanks!
