What line length do you DS fliers prefer?
Is there an optimal length for this kite?

I fly with 25m lines and 18m in light winds

'bout the same as your Talon: whatever feels right.

Which Talon?
The 3 I have all fly best on different length lines.

I'll rephrase then: 'bout the same as any kite: whatever feels right. Worrying about line length is a waste of time.

Unless the two you are using aren't the same length of course!

I'm generally on 85' or so for the standard and 50' for the UL, for what it's worth.

I fly them mostly on 60 and 30ft lines, with roughly 5ft leaders. It's not set in stone, but; those are my default lengths.
