I assume you're talking about the infinity bridle. This is not set up for quading, but rather to allow the flyer to fully adjust the pick point around the face of the sail. I've yet to see an MEFM with a dual/quad convertible bridle such as you'd find on the Ultra. Mind, any delta can be quaded; there've been a number of postings on the subject by Ron Reich, myself, and possibly others. Check the archives. >BTW When is anyone gonna tell me they have a Jester!

I knew that. hehe, no really I figured that, but the ads all say you can easily quad it. I thought it might be something not so obvious.....ah well. > Mind, any delta can be quaded; there've been a number of postings on the > subject by Ron Reich, myself, and possibly others.

The only reason I brought it up again was I got an icarex version last week. Even nicer than the carrington version! I just wanted to see if anyone else had one.. bruce -- Bruce Forest bforest@bliss.demon.co.uk bforest@bliss.co.uk PGP public key on any keyserver...Encrypted mail preferred Only a basset hound gives true dog satisfaction........... = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
