Hi. Great video!

I just bought a P4 and it's a blast so far! I was wondering how you attached your tail.

Thanks.

Hi. Thanks.

I sewed a loop of nylon reinforced webbing on an existing seam on the trailing edge of the kite. Find the center seam along the trailing edge of the kite. Then cut a piece of webbing about 4 inches long so that at least 1 inch of the loop can be sewed to that seam leaving about an inch of the loop hanging below the trailing edge. Then clip the tail to the new loop. Good Luck.

Have you tried using quadlines on it yet?

Cool. That's good to know. I haven't tried quadlines yet but I think I may need them at some point. This thing has some serious pull!

Thanks a ton i'll be ordering a symphony 1.4 tommorow!

I have an HQ 2.2 and love that one too. I think the HQ 1.4 would be a great choice for a first 2-line parafoil. The HQs and Prisms and very well designed and made kites. Some of the non-name brand kites are not as well made and tend to close up in gusts of wind more easily.

I was wondering if you know anything about the Hq Symphony 1.4 it seems to be comparable to the prism just the wingspan is 7 inches bigger

thanks for the input at this point it is in my top three choices for sure

Hi! I think the Snapshot 1.2 is a great kite. I have one and really enjoy it. It is one of the fastest 2-line parafoils around though, so it may be slightly harder to learn for a first timer than one a little larger....but heck, there is nothing to break and its speed makes it tons of fun. Go for it!
