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?

Mine is in my quad count. I've only had mine in quad configuration though.

Hello everyone,
I suppose you will all fall off your chairs laughing about kite collection having seen the long lists that you have posted. I only started quad-line flying in October though... right now the kite bag contains:
- baSic std by Feine Drachen
- baSic vents by Feine Drachen
- Phoenix Pro Full Sail by Bazzer Poulter
- Phoenix Pro Vented by Bazzer Poulter
- Penguin-Rev by Korvokites
- Custom Rev by dotmatrix

Greetings from Germany,
Volker

Evaluation of a SkyKnife will start next week and another kite will be custom built in summer.

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.

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)

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.

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.
