Conware717 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi All, A bit of a random question here, but I recently watched John Barresi's tutorial on how to assemble an indoor kite (I don't have one, but I was just curious on if it would be any different than a regular kite) and I saw that that kite had sail tensioners which ran from the nose to the standoffs (battens?). I assume that these tensioners served the purpose of holding the sail tight for better light wind performance (obviously good for an indoor kite), which got me wondering: Wouldn't adding these sail tensioners to a full size kite built for tricking expand the lower wind limit of the kite? Or is there something I'm missing? Has anybody tried to add these components to a full size kite? If so, how did it affect the kite? Thanks for your time.
