I received a kite today that bought late last week its a 'just 12 month' old 2014 Fone bandit 7, 9m kite and the inflation valve is really weird !!
Apparently its been like it since new - No second lock over Velcro, no ball in the valve and its just so slow to inflate :-(
Its like it got a mutant inflate valve and for a company like Fone I cant believe its made it through their quality control !!

Has anyone else had this problem or is this a kite specific problem ??

I have a 10 meter bandit 4 and even that one has a stopperball en a second lock. Dunno about the newer kites but it is really weird yeah. Think youre right that it is a mutant inflate. Can you go back to the guy where you bought the kite?
