     "REVOLUTION  KITES INC." markets a modification kit for  3-D 
flying which includes completely removing the original bridle and 
replacing  the  endcaps of the vertical spars with new  end  caps 
which have a tassle that you then attach the flyline directly to.

     The sacrafice is that, because of the added distance between 
the  pick points, more stress is applied to the  vertical  spars.  
Therefore the upper wind range is reduced slightly.
