Hello there, since you've stopped to read this it's safe to assume you have some interest in this topic...

My question for you today is, what do you want to know about quad line flying?

Please post any ideas for topics you'd like to see covered in future issues of Kitelife.

We have a truly extensive group of master quad line fliers in our network and we'd love the chance to provide information that you've not seen before... Quad line kites are totally unique, and we probably have the in depth answers you're looking for.

However, any "quick and dirty" questions like "how heavy should my lines be" would be best directed to the quad line discussion area found here.

Thanks in advance!

We're also very good looking, pretty damn smart and we can drink more than your average dualie.

There's a reason they call it the Dark Side.

By the way, as you can see from the image next to my post, questions do not have to be limited to ones about Revolution kites. That is my Spirit Quad 5-stack.
There are other quadline kites in the world, y'know.

[John Barresi]

Indeed, and we're up for addressing all styles.

Just let us know!

I think it'd be best of you sent the Spirit stack out to the Northwest so John and I could play with it...

While the vast amount of what I own is Revolutions, theres a few Decas kicking around and I've flown most of the quads available at some point with the exception of the Airbow.

I liked the Spirits I have flown, just not enough to own one yet

I have a Spirit... And we did a review on one a few issues back.

What's the opinion of the expert panel on the M-Quad by HQ?

[Dorsal]

I owned an M-Quad for a while, but sold it. It was far too sensitive and twitchy for me to fly to my satisfaction. I think the symmetry of the sail added to my problem, visually, and I could easily get confused which end was up, after a few twists and rolls.
I also had a Deca for a while, and the symmetry of its shape gave me the same problems. Both were fun to fly, but I never really felt like I was in "control" of the kites, only waiting for the next aerobatic excursion.

All I see at the upper right of my posts is "Report", "Edit", "Quote". The "Edit" function doesn't bring up any method to delete the post, so I guess the best I can do is delete all the contents and leave an empty post.
