Any Delta Kite can be easily quadlined by adding a bridle
line to each side of the kite that forms a plane with the bottom
spreaders. Attach on end to the center spine joint of the bottom
spreader and the other end to the point at which the bottom
spreader meets the leading edge. The length of these added
bridles is not critical but I use the same length as the longest
bridle line of the original bridle. Attach the bottom set of
flylines to the new bridles at a point directly below the pick
point of the original bridle. This is a good starting point. Do
not change the setting on the original bridle. For the handles I
use 3/4 inch diameter wooden dowel, 14 inces long and drill holes
one inch in from each end where I then attach the flylines.
The first Delta to ever be quadlined was a Hawaiian Team
kite done by Lee Sedgwick from Erie Pensylvania in 1986.
So there you have it for what you paid,
