A friend of mine recently gave me a Qiad-trac foil. He found it in his basement and figured I could use it. Now this kite was made by Skynasuar, and I can find no info on it. The bridals look like they have been run thru a bicycle chain, and most are cut or missing. I was wondering if any of you know anything about this kite or where I can find any info on it.

Looks like this kite is 3.6m to 4.5m in size.

I believe, Into the Wind, had them back in the early 90's

I think this might actually be a Ted Dougherty (ProFoil) kite. If you look up kite innovations, you can find out how to contact him. He might be able to give you more info.

From what I found so far Ted did design the kite, and was working with Skynasuar with the manufacturing and marketing of the kite. I did seen Ted an e-mail through the kite innovations web site.
This kite is clearly something other then a profoil however. Much thicker in apperance then any profoil I've seen. I think more square would be a better description. Will have to get a pic and post.

Also forgot to mention the gapping hole in the back of the sail. ouch. May not beable to ressurect this relice.

Little piece of power kite history is kind of neat to have. If skynasaur had anything to do with the manufacture of it, no doubt it is made from really heavy material. I remember way back in my early teens I had a framed S.saur with a 36" span made from 1.5 oz. rip stop. I swear it wouldn't fly in anything less than about 15 mph. I traded that and like $20 to a guy at CtW in Newport for a Griffin (8' span power stunter) and never looked back.

It may be a piece of power kite history but the phrase, "they don't build them like they use to" comes to mind when flying a Quad-trac.

At Nabx when most kites were giving me hell in the nasty winds, Darren Skinner was gracious enough to loan me his Quad-trac. Sure it won't win a beauty contest with it's out of date colors and boxy design but flying it was something different. With as gusty and upredictable as the wind was that small kite was surprisingly stable. Nothing fancy but nothing unpredictable.

Still being a green pilot I had trouble finding a kite to cut my teeth on in heavy, gusty winds and I found that in the Quad-trac and I would highly recommend it to any beginner. I'm sure Darren would have something to say about it as a vet pilot as well.
