The lines on my bandit are 22m? Could I add 3m extensions and get wider wind range?

Does extending the lines increase the wind range or just make the kite more controllable?? My friend has 30m lines on a flow and I hated how slow it was!! I also have a question about the bandit III...... My front lines adjustment is on the last knot.. If I bring it back one or two will that make it turn faster or just power it up?? I only just realised it had adjustment today and I have had the kite almost a year haha don't know how I never noticed!!!

I used 10m extensions on the B4 with a race board one day and it did increase the light wind ability but I would never use them with a twin tip. The B4 seems to work best on the standard line length so if you do use extensions keep them short and take them off as soon as the wind picks up.

Just a note that longer lines don't make the kite more powerful, they just increase the amount of time your kite spends in the power zone because it has further to travel to the edge.
