JB, the latest we could do a 2 hour session on Saturday would be 4 pm. At least at the indoor tennis courts.

I'm definitely in for some indoor flying and will help with the cost of the rental. We'd have to see if the other participants in the quad clinic would want to do that during the weekend.

I received the number to call from Lynn and I spoke to them. Here's what I found out. The indoor courts are $40 an hour per court. They can be used from 8 am to 6 pm. Reservations are only accepted 24 hours in advance, no more than that. We're responsible to clean up and court prep afterwards

I just texted Lynn, I hope so Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app

I'm good on the 100# Skybond, its on the way. Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app

Has anyone heard from April? She's one of our better quad flyers

Sounds good to me! Maybe the person that has setup the rental can double check with the management company about hours available, fees, etc.. Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app

I was checking my the website of the management company for the rental house. They are showing 2 indoor clay tennis courts that can be reserved. https://www.corollalightresort.com/corolla-light-resort-tennis

@John Barresi Thanks for the heads up on 50# and 100# Skybond. I'm going to call a couple of shops tomorrow and see what the availability is. @riffclown if I can get hold of some bulk line from a kite shop, I'll be all set. Thanks! Just FYI, I'm considering getting a room at Owen's motel in Nags Head for Friday night, I'd rather do that than drive Saturday morning from Greensboro to the clinic.

Okay, well I really want a 120' dual line set of 100#. So what about one leg of the 240' quad set you have Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app

If you're willing to part with the 1000' spool of 100# I'll take it Sent from my [device_name] using http://KiteLife mobile app

Does anyone know if they are making Skybond again? I've called a few places in the last few months and everyone is out of bulk 50# and 100#. I have a few line sets I need to make in both.

Just under 2 months away. Really excited to spend some time with JB and everyone. Been flying alone way too much lately, could really use of some time with others that share the same kite affliction. Kind of bum'd out that Scott can't make it, but I understand why.

I'm in! What lines do we all need?

Thanks @riffclown looking forward to seeing you and the crew in two months!

Thanks, I'll leave it this way for a while. It seems great without them

I took my Symphony 2.2.4 out for a nice fun fly this after. During middle of the flying session, one of the bottom center bridle legs came loose and was dangling while I was flying. I noticed on the side that lost the center bridle leg seem to be flying better, so a completely removed both bottom center bridle legs to try it out. All in all, it flew great without the bottom center legs that @riffclown created during the conversion. So my thoughts are they aren't needed. Here's a short video of me flying it without the two center bottom bridle legs.

Be sure to adjust the bridle for varying wind conditions. If the kite has problems flying, move the bridle up which should nose it forward. It's a common mistake for people not to touch the bridle and adjust it for wind conditions. Also bridle adjustments help make the kite more suitable to your flying style.

Hey John, I have the 50# skybond to make the lines. Are you recommending bare lines for bridle attachments and possibly sleeving for the handles? Or something different?

Very nice score Andrew! Congrats

Merry Christmas everyone!
