I wish the crossbow pump came with a gauge....

oh well, I just pump it until I cain't bent the struts more than 5 degrees away from the LE
If in doubt, do it.

I have been leaning towards buying a TD lately as opposed to the CB for this summer cuz I think I like the bar setup better (mind you I haven't acutally flown either but in my area non of the kiteshops do demos...)

Curious, with the one pump system does it take a long time to deflate your TD 12m after your session? Could the one-pump be converted to pumping up each strut on it's own?

Deflation time on the one-pump is essentially zero.. Most people consider the one pump when inflating, but I find it just as useful for deflating a kite.... Deflated with one pop of a valve...

As far as converting to non-onepump, all you would need would be 14 plugs for both the bladder and the struts.

I think the TD has less bar pressure than the CB from my experience...
