What size bar?
What size bar would you guys recommend for 13, 15, and 18 meter guerilla's and 1200 and 1600 f-arc's? I was thinking a 70cm would be good. I was
thinking about making my own bar unless any one has a big bar for cheap. I already have lines so it shouldn't be very hard. My friend will probably
fly the G's as he is just getting into kiteing and doesn't want to buy gear until he knows he likes kiteing.
Arcs - Charger I 8m, 10m, 12m, Venom I 13m - F-Arc 1200, 1600
Single Skin - Born-Kite LongStar2
Fixed Bridles - Pansh Legend 4.5m - Peter Lynn Voltage 3m

70 might be too much for the 13, but would be ok for the large one. By too much I mean the bar can get in your way and overturn the kite. You would
have to use restraint in your turning. I've never had a bar longer than 60cm and used it on my 18m Phantom and 19m Venoms along with 15m synergy and
phantom. The f arcs might benefit from the longer bar the most.

Snake -
My biggest Arc is a G1 13m adn I have a F-Arc 1200, and I usually fly them on a 65 cm bar set up with a long depower throw and an extended trim
strap. Neither kite is partcilary quick to turn - you have to horse them around. I would think a longer bar is better for the bigger ones (70-75),
especially at the bottom of their wind ranges.

Not exactly true. You gave me ( thanks ) a 70cm Caution bar for my Aurora . It's just the ticket.
I used what I think was a 60cm PL bar on my 18m and 13m Guerilla but never flew the 13m much.
