I tried rigging my 5 line kite as a 4 liner. Wow!
Soo much is lost.
I truely felt the kite was unsafe for stronger winds.
The kite also crashed really hard.
The kite was also longer in the water and more difficult to relaunch cause I couldnt help it hot start.

Has anyone else coming from versatile 5 lines going backwards to 4 lines felt uncomfortable?

yes it is so true.

so true in fact that i feel even more comfortable with 6 lines, going back to 5 seems dangerous and silly to me not to mention with 5 lines the kite crashes even harder then on six.

I think 7 lines is the future.

btw i like chicken dippers

Your a clever man.
More control lines makes better kite control.

6 lines is something I probably would go for if you could prove to me its useful.
