Please advise your opinion of Quad Line Kites like Symphony and quad Twin
>From Europe (which looks like two squares joined at a corner. One flyer
advises the Twin (if that is the correct name) flyers better... Your
sharing of opinion and or experience appreciated. I now fly a Synergy
quad, and a small quad bag called a Twister (from England)... I am looking
for info on and comparisons of something that flys like the Symphony that
I have seen flown in competion. Never flow Symphony & money burning hole
in pocket....
Good Heavens, Jim

I think the Twin can best be compared with a Rev II, as both are quite similar
in size. In my opinion the Twin just flies different, but not really better. It
is great for playing around, as forward and reverse flight are almost the same
(sometimes you may loose orientation where front and back actually are).
Sideward flying is definetely much easier and a bit faster than with a Rev,
though an inverted slide with the Rev II may be quite as fast.

On the other hand figures like the moonwalk are quite difficult with the Twin,
and 3D flying is not practicable at all. Which means that no-wind flying is
difficult, as well.

Both are precise fliers (you can land them on a lantern pole if necessary). :-)

Sincerely,
   Joachim
