Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

Another cognition was that I need 5 min to fill the whole kite (5m²) with 50 PSI. In the end the bike pump began to smell due to overheating :o

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

BTW: I have filled in 50 PSI now, because Arne Gosche (professional sailmaker) managed to make a new closing seam with way more thread tension. :thumb:

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

. Mission impossible : Trying to repair the crappy canopy profile with the hollow cave behind the front tube by sticking "bridges" over it. But as soon as one of the flaps has enough tension the neighbour flap has not enough any more and if you put more tension on this one the first flap becomes too...

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

I think it could work if I support the center strut with two additional bridle lines:

The tube thinner than on the drawing of course

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

It’s funny seeing peoples reaction to what tillman is doing So many negatives it will take longer to pump up. How can I pump it up that hard with my pump or it might fold over will it be Light? All Forgetting that he’s doing this so he can go so terrifying fast we would all shit ourselves 😂😂 I hope...

I'd avoid using straight stitch on heavy load / pressured areas as much as possible...
Later I made zizag on both sides of the straight stitch:

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

There is double action pump with two cilinders from red paddle. One is thick and other one is tin. You ise both for pumping up to 10 psi and then you switch to tin one by simply turning the valve. With the tin one you can pump up to 25 psi no problem. This can be the solution for this type of kites...

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

Another point is that my bike pump is NOT a double pump. So it doesn´t deliver air when I pull it.
