if its the renamed hi fi comp ...no.

its a supported 5th line c kite...needs the 5th line bridle to maintain the shape and strength as the LEs' are thin

You should fly it on 5 lines but since you asked if its possible...

I tried my 11m Nirvana on 4 lines on the 'wakestyle' setting, Yes it works!

Only there is more backstalling and the kite keep 'slacking' when you pop pretty hard. (so after landing, you need to ride upwind again so it catches wind again.)

Since I only tried it on the 11m, I'm not sure if it works on the 9 and 13 too, but I'm pretty sure the 7 and 5m will not work...

Why would you like to fly it on 4 lines?

[Tedy]

I was riding HIFI COMP 2010 11 and 9,..and newer try to fly on 4 lines. This year i was riding Slingshot Rpm 2011 and i get used to it, but my friend need a kite so i sell it. Now i have Nirvana 9m2, so i was thinking that i can ride on 4 lines, because the dealer said that it can be riden on 4 lines( That why i bought a kite !!! ) Why ridden on 4 lines,..because on HiFi Comp 2010 the fifth line tangled around kite many times.

just pump it up really hard!
but I can only encourage you to try it on 5 lines...

enjoy your new kite!

cant you install mini bridles like hadlows use?

Curious about this as well, the 5th line on this kite basically is a bridle, so would it be possible to get rid of the 5th and attach the bridles to the front lines?

I second that you should best fly it on 5 lines even though it can fly on 4 lines but it wont be 100% perfect as when it is on 5 lines. All the best and enjoy...Philios
