Dunno Stephen, but when discussing with ABW the history of a 3-line sport kite, the feeling was that the 3rd line induced extra line-binding that was undesirable vs. the results.

Kites along the lines of the Airbow are, IMO, underexplored. True they could be refined somewhat, as dualies have been over many years; but I wonder what I'd be flying or making now if I'd not discovered kiting in 2004 but 2014?

Did that make sense? Dunno, time to go to bed!

I'm sure you've all seen this: http://www.invento-hq.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=391&Itemid=42

And of course, there's still this: http://www.invento-hq.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=155&Itemid=42

And this: http://www.newtechkites.com/ntk_products.php?SubCategoriesID=15

So there is some choice out there, as well as the Airbow for something different.

I think that Rev flyers kind of shunned it for not being Rev-enough. The other side is that it was perhaps not tricky enough to entice the sport kite crowd. Although it can be made to trick impressively, you need Goff skill or SL7 determination. I still have mine and it's staying put. But as you say, it isn't flown often. Mark

Is it that the dual line kites are so good at tricks now that there is no need for a quad trick kite? What could it do that is different and unique to a kite with more than two control lines? I can't think of anything off the top of my head. As the most impressive tricks seem to work best when the lines are slack, the use of extra lines would seem to reduce the options not increase them?

That may account for the slow take up of the Airbow by the more "hardcore" trick fliers out there.

Another question, both Carl and Ramlal fly Revolutions to a very high level and both are outstanding sport kite designers so why have they not developed something to fill the gap?

Final point from me, there has been a huge developement in 4 line kites over the last 10 years. Just take a look at the buggiers and boarders next time you go out and fly.

I've never been able to find a parking space this quickly in Southsea Keep your eyes on the dopey copper who gets out of his car and instead of running towards the bloke just stands there waiting to see which way he runs. Surprise surprise the bloke doesn't run towards the copper. Bloody Sherlock Holmes this one.

So this question is always haunting me. Saw trick tutorials where the flyer had the strap around the wrist, but also saw some when it was simply held by fingers.

What's your preference? And why?
