We’ve been working on a big project for some time now: the republication of a long-loved French kite website! We’ll keep you posted on this surprise.
Revolution techniques
This time, we’ve translated the Revolution flying techniques designed by Joe Hadzicki, one of the inventors of Revolution kites. In a way, these techniques are the ancestor of Club38. They are progressive to facilitate learning. You can download them in English, French and Spanish.
Guides to learning to fly
We’ve just published complementary guides:
- A Revolution 1.5 beginner’s guide, by Punk Sportif
- 3 comprehensive reference manuals for dual line and quad line kites.
You’ll also find all the guides and learning paths already available.
Happy flying!
Technical maintenance & future publications
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been doing a lot of invisible work on the website: version upgrades, simplifications and translation tests with Google Traduction and DeepL.
Google Traduction translates our site automatically and approximately on every visit. We hope soon to publish QuadKites.org in 2 versions: French and English, this time with correct translations.
We also plan to publish indoor kite plans and new team maneuvers soon!
In the meantime, we invite you to discover
Another tutorial for building a quad line kite
We’ve just added a tutorial for building a Revolution kite.
Guardian, a French kiteflier, tells us about his first building and learning experience. His story is illustrated, concise and very clear.

We’ve also added some gear for 3D printing, in particular a winder that mounts on the handles and connectors.
Enjoy your reading!
Building a freestyle dual line kite
This time, we’re proud to offer you a complete guide to building a freestyle dual line kite!
After more than 10 years of existence, “Tom’s Kite Building Site” remains for us THE reference site to learn how to build a dual line kite. The content is precise, illustrated, rich and available in several languages. We’ve just translated the entire website into French. The English version is also available and updated.

Last but not least, our warmest thanks go to François, Oliver, Marco, Michel and Frédéric for their donations to support the costs of the website.
QuadKites.org is free and our activities are voluntary. However, every month we incur hosting costs to keep the site online. So if you appreciate our content, please consider supporting us: contribute to the hosting costs and spread the word about QuadKites.org!
The Jst-4-Fn standard in French!
This time, we’ve translated the Jst-4-Fn standard into French.

You can download this standard in PDF format in the Team flying basics section. Happy reading!
Mega-fly manual in French
The “Revolution Mega-Fly Figures” manual is now available in French.
This 2007 manual was the first to document the most practical Megateams figures. It was already available in English, Spanish and Italian. We’ve just finished translating it!
This manual remains a reference for megateam flying!
You can download it in PDF format in the team flying basics section. Let us know if you have any suggestions or improvements to make.
