Right then I have just got a 11.8 Air blast
But it dosent have the Strutes on the wing tips. Do you wise guys out there think that it would be worth my while putting battens onto it ,Or Would i be better of spending my time kiting Allso i cant Find the original topic! .

My thoughts exactly.. I got a 2001 FUEL 10m without and a new NORTH 12 with battens. I'm wondering if battens would add or subtract anything to the FUEL? It's easy enough to do.

Ryan: Maybe one of those 'designer types' could enlighten us.

A mentioned before at the a.m. topic, there is not much of a difference with the battens.
What really is a difference is to use shorter lines. Putting on my ARX 15.5 20m lines makes the kite rock! You will have a lot more fun using shorter lines with bigger kites.
And don't make the small kites too fast using shorter lines!

Thanks
