Hey Macker,

If you are trying to decide between Fuel and Diesel it depends what level you're at and what your bank account looks like....

I have a quiver of Diesels, but spend most of my time on my 11m. They work well, turn fast enough when locked off to do kiteloops and all that, but great to have the Auto pilot on for gusty conditions. The Fuel's will give you more lift and are built a bit better. Maybe the 7m Diesel'll give the Fuel a run for it's money in the lift department though.


Happy kiting
