Tip for Quad Wannabe

Two-line flyers are usually cautioned that two-line experience may make quad learning more difficult. Here's a way to use two-line practice to help quad learning. Use handles with the line attach points off center. Hold the handles with the line below the center. For subtle movements of your two-line kite use the thumb push movements as recommended for quads. When you do, you are actually pulling on the line of that handle. For example, if the right wing of your two-line kite goes up, pushing with your right thumb actually pulls on the right line, rotating the kite to the right, i.e., "pushing" the right wing down, just like the response of a quad to a right thumb push. This works only for slight movements, but establishes the habit you need to fly a quad.
