Hey, i was wondering if leaving the struts infated say..overnight would cause any damage/straching or something, how about for longer periods?? or is it perfectly safe?

i think its fine except for say if u were to leave the kite in a hot car, i think the heat could make them expand and possibly burst, although i'm not 100% on this, i'm sure somebody else will know for sure.

i'd generally just let abit of air out of them just to be on the safe side.

I leave them inflated most of the time.

Kites going to be worth 20$ in about a years time. Its not worth the effort maintaining them.

It ok to leave them as long as the temperature is not too hot, but if you leave them in a car in summer the temp in a car can be very hot and as you know air expands when the temperature increases.

I guess Carbs is correct too, but when I sold my kites and told the buyer that they were not miss treated I could sleep at night knowing that was the case.

Up to the user though, but it only takes a short time to infate its not that hard.
