48m. 19 + 16 + 13 = 48. No way to get 49. I'm very impressed, it looks beautiful

I heard that it may be better to put the smallest kite on top, so the flying speed are more equal. Does someone tested that ?

Never tried that, I never saw the need (didn't make any sense to me either). I have stacked my SARC's 1120 and 630 then tried stacking my G2's 15 and
11. If you get the stack line length dialed for the kite sizes used and the rear pigtail lengths to each kite tuned for the stack they fly amazingly
in sync (like one kite, even when turning them) in steady winds. Looks really cool when you get it right.

leader between kites is my guessing. I think I read somewhere that 5m is a good starting point when stacking arcs. Either way it just looks cool.

They're Venom IIs bud
there is no 15m.
Probably a very stable stack.
