We have just received the the 08 fuels and have them in all sizes.
I am wondering what the preferred size for demo kites here in WA?
7,9,11,13m?

already had a crack today. No bars so had to use on 07 bar 5th line length was a little to tight for the old bar so couldnt really get to much of an idea of the kite, looks suspiciously like the 07 lol.

Ok the kites are way more power ful then the 06 fuel, turning speed slightly quicker and has a little more top end range. The bar has the easy to slide adjuster, and longer cl throw making it easier to depower. As always slingshot bomber construction and one pump.

if you listen to the recent Ruben Lentil interview on the ASnews.net podcast he pretty much says the 08 fuel is identical to the 07.

Apparently the 09 model is the one where there will be some bigger changes.

Never ridden one myself and Rubes sounded half tanked in the 3am interview so take this whole post with a grain of salt.....
