    Thanks Lynn, I'm going to call the Flying Smiles Kites and see if they have a line set.   If I can't get my hands on a set, I'll definitely borrow a line from you.

    Yes, the Symphony quad kite is definitely a different animal from other quads.   It loves to move sideways, but not so much up and down.   I believe the person that produced this kite lived in the Washington DC area and would show up to competitions around that area.   I can't remember the exact years, but definitely in the 1990's.   Around that time TC Powers was pushing his Ultra dual/quad line kite.   I was never really impressed with that kite or any delta that was flown as a quad

    I'm really looking forward to this too.  Two more weeks!

    This is my quad line collection, it's not very big.

    Rev II - Well used and vintage 1990's

    Rev 1.5 - Well used and bought when Revolution first came out with that model.

    Rev 1.5 full vent -  Brand new and flown once.

    Symphony -  Bought in the 1990's.   The maker was touring the east coast and winning competitions, both indoor and outdoor.   It'd be interesting to see John fly trying to fly this one, I still haven't figured it out.  Here's a website that shows the Symphony http://www.kitesonconsignment.com/kockitesalesquad.html

    Minergy Deca Zero Wind - Fun little kite, but not easy to setup.

    My line sets are as follows:

    90# 17' - Tried indoor flying with this set.

    90# 50'

    90# 80'

    150# 85'

    Do I need to acquire a 100# 120' set for this clinic?

    Excited about this event!

    I was really shocked to find out Terry past away. I was going to let him know that I was coming to OBSKC this past October. I knew him from back when we both started getting in to kites.

    I have few things from him. Quad handles and golf ball stakes he made. A MEFM he flew. I traded him my Rev 1 for that kite.

    Is Phil Napier still around? I last saw both Terry and him at the Blue Ridge kite festival in Salem, VA a few years back.

    Cool Riffcllown, it'll be good to see you again.  I met you at OBSKC this past year.   With extreme high winds on Saturday, I flew my (vintage) 6ft Flexifoil.   You let me fly your Symphony 2.2.4 and after that I decided, Yep!  I'll have to do this somehow.   I tried to spin the 2.2.4 like a Rev and you said "No, just let one line loss" and after that it spun just like a Rev.
