New Rhino 07 valves suck!

[Plinky07]

Has anyone has have troubles with the Rhino 07 bladders?

What is the problem?

Yes, the post's subject is kind of gressive, and the the post itself is not.
What seems to be your issue?

no problems for me, they are the best valves i have used. Loving the 2 pump system, Think the way that the struts are locked off automatically by the leading edge is brilliant

I just pumped up my new 10m today for a test flight on the beach in 40'F weather.

I absolutely love the 2-pump system especially after pumping 8-struts on Monkey Griffins regularly. It is a nice clean system that is hard to notice.

I liked my first impressions of the kite in sub-adequate winds 8-12knots. Plenty of bar pressure, super stable in the air, solid construction, and good pull through turns.

I can't wait to get it out on the water!

I have a 10 and 14 R07. No problems (yet) If kites are stored the wrong way, there might be a chance of problems. Otherwise the kites especially the 10 are very nice. I had to play with the trim to get rid of the high bar pressure of the 14 and to further improve the lowend of the 10 (1 knot leader down)

I just bought the 14 and waiting till saturday for the first try. I'm sleeping with her (just kidding). I pump it up at the store and agree with charlier. You can not deflate the struts without deflating the LE. It is a well thought design. But I think that deflating the struts will take a bit longer and it may get difficult to fold it at the beach with wind and sand. I will see this saturday

The third time I used my 9 meter kite one of the t-valves broke. I couldn't get a spare bladder, since the kite was just getting in the market. I changed the bladder for one of the Rhino 06, which was the only one I could find. That was the end of the 2-pump system, since those bladders do not have the T system. The worst part is that another t-valve broke after that, I had to do the same thing all over again. I think that the shape of the valve does not resist the preassure of the main bladder. Don't think that I over pumped the kite or anything and I didn't even leave it in the sun for long. May be it was just bad luck!
I got it all repaired. I had to pump the struts bladders individually. Other than that the kite is really great...
