Hi

Can someone out the please help.

I have been flying 2 string kites for some time and have now switched
to an HQ M-quad kite. On Youtube I have seen people flying the same
kite. They can perform a 180 or 360 deg spin and the stop the spin
dead. When I try it the spin occurs BUT I CAN'T stop the spin dead.
It invariably carries on and I lose control. Is there a web site
that I can log onto that gives advice regarding flying quad line
kits.

All comments welcome

Thanks

Harvey

Harvey,
There are a lot of videos and instructions on flying quad line kites,
at the Revolution kites discussion forum. Go to the Rev kites website
then click on the forums link: http://www.revkites.com

Hi Harvey,
Going from dual to quadline is sometimes really hard, because you basically
have to re-learn how to fly. Eric Allen (long-time quad-head and competitor)
wrote up a good run-down for my website awhile back called "Handcuffs,
please - quad-line for dual-line pilots - it's all in the wrists".

Check it out here: http://www.kitestop.com/school/dual2quad.php

Hope that helps... and of course, the rev videos are great too.
