Plenty of low end grunt and turns fine for a 17 but a bit of a pig upwind. You don't want to fly it with a slow TT.

hi , i have had 2 17 fuels, they are a great light wind kite , @ 100 kg i can ride it from about 10 kn (on my directinal )through to about 22 kn( on A TT) ,if I am trying to fly using a small tt in less than 12 kn it will pull me downwind. it has about 4or5 pigtail positions for the leading edge and as many on the trailing edge to adjust turning speed. i still have a 17 003 kite thats no longer needed, feel free to come and fly it
