windwarrior Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm going to set up all my kites to do this but dread the set up and take down time AND finding a large enough space to do it that is dry! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photomom Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I just finished making quad handles for my Lee Sedgwick UFO. Does that make it a quadline kite and do I add it to the quad count? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photomom Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Mine is in my quad count. I've only had mine in quad configuration though. I had mine as a single line and almost decapitated myself. Hoping this will be safer.Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfish Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 2-D flying (kite stays at end of lines with tension) should be safer. 3-D flying is questionable. I've managed to launch the YFO at myself trying to do slack line stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul LaMasters Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I am adding another quad. It doesn't have a name yet, but "Illegal" is as good as any, one of Ashworth's 3rd Gen designs made by Eliot Shook. Pictures to come eventually! Hopefully bridled-up and testing this weekend in ocean city 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kataranka Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hello everyone,I suppose you will all fall off your chairs laughing about kite collection having seen the long lists that you have posted.

SHBKF Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 No laughing from out here in the sticks. Looks like a great collection to me. I never thought I would own more than a couple kites but things changed when I found out how friendly kites became.

Any chance to hear anything (like feel and differences from a more revlike kite) about this later? I have been considering a Skyknife for a long time, but got my B-series in the mean time. Talking about Korvokites - didn't know that they did "penguin-revs" also. 5 hours ago, SHBKF said: No laughing from out here in the sticks. Looks like a great collection to me. And most certainly not from the north either. Besides you got one more quad than I do even when I include a power kite when counting: 3 B-series (std/mid/full). 1 Spiderkites Smithi Pro (much controllable foil). 1 Peter Lynn 5m^2 Peel (power foil) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll maybe Have One I can Add to y’all list one Day , ha Believe it or not, my first Rev was in 2014. followed quickly by a full vent and the Terry Murray stack. My first homemade mesh was in 2015.. I was flying my Symphony 2.2.4 Conversion (first real quad stunt kite) in 2013.. It was designed and converted in Early 2012. Most of my kites are pictured in my Galleries.

Paul LaMasters Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm considered a newbie in my home field of kite fliers, only doing it since '96 (10 hrs per week). I got the first quad 1993 but didn't know squat about tuning or adjustments for a couple of years. Made my first quad kite and entered at the Smithsonian Fest in 1999, won but who builds a sport kite as a novice? I was told in 2004 at a competition (1st one entered '99) that I had finally learned how to back-up. Stopped making kites when Bazzer and Shook came on board. They would both try to follow my requirements w/o charging too much extra and built 'em way better than I could ever do. I beat my dear friend & MMB competition nemesis after eleven years of failures (2 or 3 times annually!) in 2015, yeah as a soul flyer too with no music or routines preplanned. I have had folks tell me "No you can't team-fly with us" and I've had to respectfully ask others to leave a team-fly 'cause they couldn't cut it themselves (both of these courses of action are extremely tough on everyone involved!) I am not a collector and I have more kites than I can fly or even want to carry, just hate to sell 'em off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
