HELP!

[Josh W.]

Hey everyone,

I am new to kitelife.com. I've spent most of my forum time on kitebuilder.com but because I find myself in a position where that forum is not suited for my problem. I recently came into possession of a New Tech Kites Voltsquad. I had some factory issues with the kite so I got all that sorted out. I adjusted all my lines and everything and went to my favorite flying spot today and had nothing but trouble. I couldnt get the kite to take flight all it wanted to do was hop a few inches off the ground and them spin in the wind when i attempt to fix it. please help

Revkites.com has all the info you need to get your quad into the air. Just look and learn the techinques that the pros have posted on the forum. Good luck and many happy flights. :-)

The problems you describe could be anything, hard to diagnose out of sight... At first read, I'm wondering:

1 - If it's hard to launch, maybe shorten your top lines slightly to increase forward drive.

2 - if it's spinning uncontrollably, make sure all 4 lines are equal length, and that your inputs are equal R-L.

I purchased a volksquad as my entry to quad line kites, and also struggled with it. I was unsuccessfull flying mine untill after I had flowen revs for a while.

The volksquad is quite a bit stiffer than revs are, no matter where you set the tensioning lines on it.

Also the volksquad has a fairly narrow wind range that it works in. Don't try learning it on to strong, or to light of a day. I've had the most sucsess with mine in 8 to 12 mph winds.

Watch some of johns rev tutorials and pay close attention to his hand placement on the handles, and try to keep a little tension on all four lines the whole time you have the kite in the air. If you give it to much slack it will get away from you.

It's very satisfying the first time you tame the volksquad. At least it was for me, have fun!
