Yesterday I had a session at a spot we have to hike into, so I had to pack my gear in a travel bag.
I packed an 18m xbow and a 13m xbow with the 18m bar and mistakenly took my 10m sb bar.
After having issues with my 13m not flying correctly in light wind, no power, slow turning, windtips folding in at max power I realized
I had brought the wrong bar. I changed the bar to the 18m one which is 65cm (13m is 55cm and 10m is 48cm). Immediately I noticed great power increase,
and with the bar fully sheeting the wingtips didnt fold in. I couldnt compare to the bar that comes with the kite but overall it seemed as
if the kite was performing much better than stock. Faster turning speed, smoother powerflow.
Is this in my head? Is there any disadvantages to using a larger bar?
