9m Fuel 2006 v 2007

Postby fen » Wed Aug 15, 2007 2:11 pm

I have been looking for 9m Fuel 2007, but have been offered a good deal on a 2006 Fuel.

My other kites are 07 fuels, so I know what I am expecting, but I am not able to test fly this first. Is there any significant difference between the 06 and 07's.

Anyone flown both and can comment would be much appreciated.

It will be flown on a 07 bar anyway, and will be set up in 4 line mode.

Thanks

You should be fine.

I only flew the large size '07 Fuels. (I thought the '07 was too slow in the 17M size vs the '06, but heard it was just right in other sizes).

BUT, '06 were GREAT kites. I loved them.

You'll notice lighter bar pressure and slightly faster turning on the '06 kites, but a 9M is going to be quick either way. Go for it.
