This is my first post so if I have placed it in the wrong section I appoligize.
I have been flying my stunt kit, sorry it is in the garage and I can not remember the name, for most of 20 plus years. It has two lines. Last year, while at Long Beach, I watched the quad kites and become very interested in one. I see there is a Revolution that looks to be a great kite to start with and also advance with. It is the Rev 1.5 SLE I believe. Having never flown a quad I am wondering how to know when I am ready to move to a quad instead of my stunt. I still enjoy the strunt kite but if I am honest it has become a bit boring while when I was watching some of the things the people were doing with the Quads I got quite excited because I didn't see how I could do some of the things they were doing with my stunt kite. Maybe I can and just haven't figured it out. Anyway, I am interested in moving to a Quad but I don't want to buy one and then find out I don't have the skill needed to fly it. Any suggestions as to what skills I will need and as the tittle says how to know when I am ready for a Quad would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Midnight Shadow |

QUOTE (Theresa @ Jul 23 2008, 10:01 AM) Welcome to the forum! Where are you? Do you happen to be close to The Kite Shoppe? Looks like he is from Bonney Lake.Washington. If you are bored with the two line kite, now is the time to try a Rev. The B-series kite would be my choice. Problem is to choose between full sail, half vent or full vent. It depends on how smooth the winds are in your area. Will take a bit of getting used to as dual line flying does not apply. Theresa should be able to help you out. Rev kites are not cheap, but are the best. Ok , Theresa, your turn.
