But what is it about an N20 that allows it to be balanced downwind? Is it that the pole length and the kite foot length were better chosen?


I believe most of it (or lack thereof) has to do with the rake of the rudders and getting them very nearly balanced on their lift with the pivot point. If they're balanced, you won't feel any helm either way - I tune mine for a touch of weather helm upwind and it usually works out to a little lee helm downwind (even on the 20).
