    Peter Lynn C-Quad

    ok these are old designs now but don't stop reading here, they are the most awesome buggy engines ever. i fly mine in anything from a 3-4 mph wind right up to 20 mph plus. everyone makes a fuss about packing them but after a couple of times you will find it easy, i pack 3 kites in the time it takes to put away a big foil.

    flying..... they are very different to fly as they rely on brakes to steer, once you realise this they are incredibly manouverable hooking really tight turns and seemingly creating there own power zone.

    a good thing to try is the proper c-quad bar it makes harnesed one handed buggying a piece of cake. having the brake lines on the outside of the bar and power lines central makes steering properly easy peasy.

    the 6.3 in a 4 mph wind will just hook in and pull no working the kite to get it moving just drop into the power zone and hold on.

    the 3.2 is a good boarding kite (so i'm told not a boarder myself sorry. friend tested this bit for me) he say's it's controllably powerfull and very predictable.

    the 2.2 is just an awe inspiring piece of kit, it will surprise most people with the power it generates and because of it's high speed ability to turn it seems to out perform kites many times it's size and price.

    they store away in large ish flat round bags. some don't like these but i love them for storing down the side of the wardrobe out of sight but warm and dry.

    my conclusion.... TRY ONE you will be impressed and hooked. ignore the micky takers and then smile smugly as you buggy past them sat on the grass/sand because there's "not enough wind to play" .

    hope this is some help and makes sense. R.R

    C-Quadsare fantastic kites, packing away is easy once you get used to it and takes seconds. The biggest problem for me was when changing between kites constantly throught eh day , they can be a tad tedious and time consuming. Once in the air they are as good as and better than almost any foil you could care to mention. If you have the patience to perservere then these kutes are DEFINITELY worth it in the end. Personally I preferred mine on handles ( I had a full set ) the bar I found easy to fly with but a pain at times to land the kites as you can only apply so much brake, but then I didn't really give it loads of time to master.

    the bar takes a little getting used to but once practised makes turning so much easier. if you fly them with a little trailing brake you can apply plenty through the handles. the hardest thing i found was getting them to stay down on the bar. sorted that though, small strap along the back of the bar to go over peg keeps brake on.

    I have four of them, 3.2 / 4.2 / 6.3 and 8.5 Yes, the C-Quad still is a great Thing, not so much used in Germany. Fell in Love with em about 3 Years ago, an will keep on flying them. For me the best of them is the 4.2, because of its huge Windrange. Powerful, fast enough in turns, and surely fast on the track. Until now, i could not fly the 8.5 in my Buggy, but it seems like the "John Deere" in the Sky ... Huge Power, flys in almost no winds and i think i dont need anything b
