Converting a Symphony 2.2 to quad line (Now with Flying Video)
I wrote the instructions up and posted them for your use. This takes a small trainer to a whole new level. Stops on a dime and spins like there's no
tomorrow..
Have fun at the festival! Wanted to make this one. I'll be down there for the whole week next month though. Winds were a good SW 15 mph here
yesterday. No flying for me.
Truck repairs have been taking up my time the past few weeks.

Great winds today. A little erratic at times but great flying in a great place to fly.
Chris, I very much appreciate your take on it. I really enjoyed watching you fly today and I very much appreciate the opportunity to spend some time
with the Toxic 2.0 Great Kite and probably my next kite.
A little impromptu demo up on Youtube..Raw footage.. Included the "oops" and all. Grass was tall so it did snag the brakes occasionally. Check out the
0:59 mark
Hey all, I just wanted to give my two cents on this mod Riff has made. I too have a quad line 2.2 symphony and it’s a blast. I’ve only been flying
for the last few months. I started out with a HQ symphony 1.8 and moved up to the 2.2 once I felt the pull. I flew it on 2 lines for a few weeks, but
once I had him mod mine I couldn’t imagine going back. If you have the means to mod a smaller foil like this one, I highly recommend it.
All these VA kiters We must plan a VA bash this fall??????
Guys, we must rally the masses and unite
You know we have our own section on the forum,it's called VABBB. We have already had our first bash... I need to come over to the upper peninsula
and meet you guys. I remember waaayyy back when I was the lone kiter in VA.
Have I got some stuff for you guys to try..... Come on late Sept.!

Yeah. The VABBB gonna be rocking this year it looks like
Really looking forward to trying a Soulfly or a pro Soulfly. I dig they are a Rage in disguise (so to speak) at half the price.
Um yeah come on Fall! Except I work a lot of Saturdays with side jobs in the fall/winter for extra $$$.. Guess I'll be a few $$$ short this year LOL.
Off to the VABBB forum now

The lengths are pretty close. but a bit of trial and error will be needed to tune them. I would suggest the looping from page two to allow easy
tuning. That way the only actual length you'd have to adjust would be the length of the main brake bridle (orange on my kite)
I have a friend with a Symphony Beach 2.1 (one of my original kites actually) that I will probably end up modifying. If you need, I'll publish those
measurements but it's not too difficult to tune to your tastes when you get used to making small changes and seeing the difference they make in how
the kite reacts.
I recommend to make the 24” and 28” as well as the 26” and 30” lines as a loop. If making individual lines add 3” to each end for
backsplicing and
connection. Lengths for the loop method are one piece 58”(including backsplice) & one piece 62” ”(including backsplice).
Once back-spliced and looped, a simple square knot/larks head will suffice to attach the main brake bridle (Orange) This
also requires less splicing and allows the bridles to be tuned easier once your mods are complete.
If you make the brake bridles as loops, then you can tune them easily by just undoing the main knot and sliding them through to tune.
How does that compare to the HQ Beamer 2M? Ive flown both the 2.2 Symphony and 2M Beamer numerous times and pretty much just just decided that the
Symphony flew nearly identical to the HQ Beamer. Just my thoughts though.
