You may want to contact Vielgrop ( spelling is probably wrong ) the folks who sell Peter Lynn product now.

I bought 2 of my C-quad's direct from them a few years ago when I was riding for Ripsession. They still had a few back then but I'm not sure about small sizes?

I didn't even know a 1.4 existed? I have to think it would be a quirky flying kite. So small and zippy ? With traditional kites I find they don't act like their big brothers until they grow up to 2.5 or 3. At 1.4 a kite is like a bumble bee and doesn't transfer power in a consistent manor.



Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

Vliegerop doesn't have any C-Quads that I know of. Best place to look would be direclty at Peter Lynn. Their contact info is http://www.peterlynnkites.com/ They do not have the c-quads listed on the site but if you contact them via e-mail they should be able to let you know if they have any left.

Shipping would be the issue. If you could get a bunch of people interested that may bring the shipping costs down. If that were the case I may be able to bring them in as well.

I don't understand your motivation?

The C-quad is by nature a POWER kite. Are you looking for the power or the unique 4 line control?

If the 4 line control is what gets you off then NOTHING beats the Revolution kites. Endless fun to fly and only so taxing on your arms/ wrists.

If you want to feel Power then the 3.2 will deliver! The back strap will help but they still need constant brake ( wrist ) attention. A back strap will help.

That kite looks like it comes from Corey Lama. A long time and well respected pilot who is having to close shop. ( Like too many other kite shop owners )

I think to satisfy your desire to feel the power you really want a depower kite designed with low bar pressure.

DEPOWER was the historical idea that REALLY propelled this sport forward ! :thumbup: That and water re-launch able kites.

Flying a depower kite you take the majority of the power through your core via the harness. You can manually effect the Angle of attack through the trim strap, to a certain degree. The true magic of depower doesn't really come out until you are in motion. You will still love it for static flying and scudding because you WILL be able to take the power and yet not tax your arms/ wrists so much.

Peter Lynn arcs have the unique quality of " auto zenith " . A most excellent feature when you are a lazy arsed pilot like me! Newer arcs with the VPC bridle can be tuned to low bar pressure.

I think that Revolution was revolutionary in static kites? With the amazing 4 line control and all. They have a huge following and are excellent pilots.
