Why would you want to change from 4 lines with more control over the kite to two lines with less control?

You can take the kite's brake leaders and put them in your larS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s head knot going around the kite's power-line leaders. I've done that before on a smaller kite in high winds.

Dont you need brake input on an NPW? Seems like the trailing edge would catch air like a sheet on a clothing line with a 2 line setup:puzzled:

i want to fly the kite dual line because its a 2.2 and i find it rather boring flying it on 4 lines......thanks burrito--it works perfectly!! i have a 4 meter that im flying with 4 lines--that one pulls so hard--obviously dual would be suicide!!
