This kite now has a new home

Receipt Confirmed.

Receipt Confirmed..

@mebeatee OK OK OK... A picture just for you. MAYBE

So the folds are done and the strips are in the press to set the seams. No Pics on this part. (it's kind of boring to show a roll of heavy butcher paper.)

Day 1. Due to the Strip lengths and alignment challenges, 1.5 Perspective will always have a center panel but Here's what the kite looks like before any work is done. And a quick panel mock-up before any other work after the LE has been sewn.

Then technically you know 3..

MY two main bags don't have any brand name kites in them. And they are stuffed pretty tight. One for 72" Kites and one for 1.5 size. There wouldn't be room for too many more... Brand Name kites go in a 3rd bag that is getting lighter and lighter as time goes by.

Are you converting it to 4 line?

@Joneo Do keep in mind that despite both of these being sport sized, either of these foils can generate quite a bit of power. Don't expect to be able to just hold your ground as the breeze strengthens. In the right conditions either can hurt you. The 2.2 will pull a heavy buggy with a 200 lb adult in it 20mph down the beach. Total weight close to 275. Be careful and be smart please. They can yank you off your feet before you realize you are in trouble.

I've done close to 30 personally but I know of numerous others due to private messages or emails asking for certain details.. I do get the occasional request for a conversion and/or a set of Bridles still. They are insanely fun kites for sure.. The Major thread is here FWIW, I only know of a few Symphony 2.5's that have been modified.. Most are the Symphony 2.2(.4) and even a few Prism Synapse.

First, Welcome to KiteLife! We are glad you are here. There is a bit more pull to the 2.5 but these are both sport sized and you can pull a buggy with either. The difference in pull between the 2.2 and the 2.5 isn't major but it is noticeable. I've said it often that the 2.2 is the sweet spot for the quad conversion but I have done a 2.5 for Chris Shultz at HQ Kites. At one point they were considering making it 4 line capable due to that work. So to bottom line your answers. Yes there's a difference in the sizes but all things considered it's not a HUGE difference. Yes, Both of these sizes are good candidates for 4 line conversion.

One of the first Icarex kites I made.. Really love the way that kite catches the sun and flashes when backlit..
