great week, huh!
My battery operated CSI turbo pump ran out of juice while pumping the Leading Edge of my 16 crossbow. I know I'm a wimp...
I always, as recommended by my Cabrinha dealer, pump my struts to 8.3 psi and LE to 9.5 psi.
So the LE seemed close enough to 9.5, I thought, first backroll off a good sized wave, kite inverted in the air. First time ever an inversion for me in last 8 mos in the air on a crossbow, (on the water in waves a different issue).
For me, for a Cabrinha XB, in the air inversion is all about insufficient LE air pressure, among other items like losing the crispness in the turns, jumps, etc.
Pump up your leading edge H A R D!

So will your ass be available for those who need help pumping up their kites to the proper pressure!!!windhorny wrote:... I still go by touch. If the kite is firmer than my butt cheeks, it's too hard :) So if you see me pumping my kite and I keep reaching back to grab my own ass, thats what I am doing.
