Quickly prefilling a peter lynn scorpion 7sqm using the coleman quickpump 600l/sec

This video shows the pefilling process of a peter lynn scorpion using a coleman quickpump. this pump has 600 liter / second air throughput. first, i prefilled the kite the usual way. then, windspeed goes down and i do the rest of the prefilling using the quickpump. you can see, that the kite very rapidly gets filled and at the end is filled to the maximum. a water bottle used to fix the kite to the ground simply rolls down due to the internal pressure.
the lynn scorpion is known to be very difficult to launch. if not prefilled to the max, it will invert, twist or simply not lift up. using the quickpump, i am now able to launch the kite every time even in quite low winds! wind was gusting from 6 to 18 knots this day. i was filming alone, one hand on the bar, in the other hand the cam, so the actual flight sequences are rather crappy. sorry for that.
the superior flight - and turning speed of the scorpion will be featured in another video, soon.

normally, i prefill as much as possible with the wind available, and use the pump to just put in the final max fill, so that the launch is much easier.

and because the 16sqm scorpion fills much better than the 7, i think it will take not much longer to make the final max filling.

but i am currently building myself a prefiller from a pc chassis fan, that has 5 times the air flow of the coleman quickpump. i will make a video prefilling my 16 sqm scorpion with timings.

your using naish bar and lines, whats wrong with original bar and lines?

[hercion]

nothing wrong, but i simply do not have a original peter lynn bar.

but i have the bar from my tube kite, and its perfectly working with the scorpion.

Do you have any footage that helps explain how to relaunch? I've tried the methods on the peter lynn arc video but not having much luck. I'm sure it's just a matter of learning the technique and mastering it but so far found it easier to not bail the kite lol.

wonder how long it would take for the pump to fill the 16 meter Scorp. Probably like 3 minutes lol nice flying man
