Stock 50cm

Hot set up 49cm

Actually, spreader lengths have been all over the place for the Nirvana.

My NSE stock length is 52cm.

51cm is a nice length for old school flying with the Nirvana and I've seen that as a stock length as well.

What's hot set up? I've never heard of it??

If you shorten the upper spreader it makes it easier to do pitch tricks.

OTOH, things like 540s lose a certain je ne sais quoi.

Try long and then shave a bit off?

A little can make a big difference which was surprising to me. I recently lost one and cut a new one too short. I could see it slightly pulling in the LEs almost how the quantum pro SUL looks.  I hated how it flew and cut a new one - measuring twice this time, of course!
