Play a Bass Quadrifoil?? Some time ago while flying a Quadrifoil 25, I discovered that by plucking the main lines with my thumbs that the line vibration and it's resulting 'thunk' is transmitted up the line to the sail which acts like a sounding board, causing onlookers to wonder where the noise is originating from. One guy even thougnt that a plane flying over had developed engine trouble.. Add to this the sound of overlapping lines rubbing against one another with 4-5 wraps in the lines, and your Quad can be a flying music machine.. :-) Ob.
