Again agreed! Pumped up the Ozone kites for the demo with the big ass valve and sooo easy. My 11m takes at least 100 pumps - I count to reduce the pain.
The dump valve is so you can roll it up from one side to the other, but so what! Yehs you have to inch along the leading edge to get to it. Just weird.
Hey when I dumped the air on the ozone it came out real fast man - is that bad for the kite??
Only bad for eardrum if it's too close - seriously!
Dump valve at wing tip makes it harder to expel all air since longer path to exit while rolling it up. Iv'e started using the pump in suck mode before rolling.
BTW: Not sure if u realise that due to battens at trailing edge, need to roll Rebels so that the trailing edge stays in a straight line. This is so the battens do not bend when you do the final 3 fold pack at the end.
Yep forgot to mention that. Actually I roll all the way until the last strut, then roll back the other way, tuck under and fold in two, only way I could get the battens to stop sticking out - which can cause damage.
