A good attitude will get you on the right path... iQuad is a fun loving group that is very serious, about flying hard and not getting too serious!

  Seriously, here's what it takes:

• 120' quad lines - If you don't have 'em, forget about it... With so many kites in the sky, the 120' gives us all the room we need to operate and do our maneuvers.
  .
• Revolution 1.5 - We use full and vented sails with a combination of 2-wrap, 3-wrap, 4-wrap and SLE rods, depending on the conditions.
  .
• Basic control - An absolute must, here is what a flier must be able to demonstrate:
  .
  1) Dead hover... Ability to do a stable hover in any orientation (i.e. with the leading edge facing in any direction), in any part of the sky.
  .
  2) Reverse flight... A key element of iQuad maneuvers, fliers must be able to back (reverse) their kites up from and to just about any position in the sky.
  .
  3) Speed control... Must be able to manage slow, medium or fast speeds flying in any direction.
  .
  4) Tip pivots... Another key component in many of our maneuvers, a flier must be able to rotate their kite around one wing tip, from a stopped position to a stopped position.
  .
  5) Sense of humor... Even the best fliers get into a real snafu sometimes, and if you can't laugh it off... Well, good luck to you!

  We often do quad mega-flies at events throughout the year, and we heartily encourage you to come on up and try your hand at team flying... It's great fun, and we're always willing to spend time with a new flier to help them learn - even if they're not up for team flying yet.
