You can remove the One-Pump clips but its really personal preference... For me, I leave them on to help stabilize the LE and if anything did happen while on the water the Clips would allow some of the kite to maintain air pressure. Where as if you didn't use those clips the whole kite could deflate. A completely deflated kites is much more hard to get to shore then a one that partially inflated. TIP: In gusty up and down conditions try clipping your clips off and put a couple more PSI in the LE. This isolates the LE from the Struts and allows the most ridged LE frame for gusty conditions.TilmanHH wrote:Do you remove the clips at the octopus valves or do you use them? a friend of mine recommended removing the clips...
A friend of mine said that his main reason for not wanting one pump is that the struts should have twice the pressure of the LE... What's your take on this? Any reason that the struts should have a much higher pressure than the LE?shymac wrote: TIP: In gusty up and down conditions try clipping your clips off and put a couple more PSI in the LE.

Ask yourself does this make any logical sense.. Struts needing more air? From my point of view... Most of the stability of the bridled kites come from the LE and bridle layout... The struts aid in relaunch and stabilizing the canopy in terms of keeping it open and not collapse on ya. But more air in the struts really doesn't effect much. But you wouldn't just want them completely soft. The cut of the canopy is design to be stable if its not you can get lots of canopy flutter and unwanted flight behaviors... That's why SS uses a loose leach tension to create a canopy pocket to help stabilize and prevent unwanted flutter.magnus_norway wrote:A friend of mine said that his main reason for not wanting one pump is that the struts should have twice the pressure of the LE...

Thanks for the input! I have asked myself this, and couldn't find any. Still wanted to just shoot off the question to you to make sure it wasn't anything I hadn't thought of Then for me, I can't see why one pump is such a bad thing that a lot of guys are arguing... Never had it fail on me, and I think it really is faster and more user friendly!shymac wrote:Ask yourself does this make any logical sense.. Struts needing more air? From my point of view...

Its hard to get a kite flutter free without adding tons of struts. That's why the RPM is such a sweet kite because with only 3 struts its about as solid as the FUEL with 5... If you talking a kite without bridles is nice to have everything max out but you don't need to put more PSI in the struts. Kite with bridles, I add a couple more PSI to the LE in storm conditions but mostly I just put the standard 8-9 psi.
Hey thanks for the link but it doesn´t work...shymac wrote:Downloadable PDF fileTilmanHH wrote:Hey guys I got my 2010 rpm without a manual. Can I download it somewhere? To what psi is the pumping recommended? thx
