I have a Quadtrac 3. The kite is circa early 1995. It was by Ted Dougherty of Quadrafoil fame. Ted Gave it to me in '95. Thanks again, Ted.
It's very fun in high winds. We finally damaged it the last time we had it out so now it's going into the shop for repairs. My daughter loves this
kite so it must fly again. :-)
I fly: Charger II 6.5m * Charger II 8m * Charger II 10m * Scorpion 10 (for sale) * Phantom II 12m * F-Arc 1200 * Venom 13m
I ride: Peter Lynn XR+ on Midis * Flexifoil Midi/Barrow * Peter Lynn Comp on Barrows * Peter Lynn XR+ (needs a fork)
I build: Custom bars for buggy pilots

Im not familiar with the Skynasaur quadtrac, but one of my first 2 line stunt kites was a red Skynasaur. They were very fun kites for the very cheap
price.

My first stunt kite (only) too! I'll have to check to see what it is but its just a little 2 line stunter. It's the one that gave me the kite line
scars from walking back down the lines to launch the kite......it launched before I hit the handles and the line went zinging in a skin-burning
fashion across both index fingers. Never forget that day - moreso thanks to the scars ; )
Loved the kite though - and still have it! I SWEAR I could get that thing flying so fast I could take it nose first into the pond at my dad's place
and fly it back up and out! Amazing little thing. Bought it local here prob about 20 years ago? Yikes.....could that be?

I bought it in a small package deal and probably ended up paying about 40$ for it :bigok:\
I plan to try to fly it at sunset it Sunday if the winds aren't too high. And aside from being a piece of kite history, it would also make a nice
wrap dress. Can't decide who should try it on first...
