stacking works fine and is perfectly controllable if you tune them up right... they will act (almost) as one kite.

for the record, its really not worth the effort :P

you need some ~3-6m extensions. better to stack similar sizes and kites. id go for the 13 and 10 venoms. you will get more power but it will truck downwind a lot.

arcusers probably has lots of posts on the subject
