Looked like fun till it broke ;)

I wonder... how deep was the water?

@plummet - too much load on a crappy design... 3 struts I fold them like that all the time - and I pump them up as hard as I can.

Yeah my rally use todo the same thing when turned really hard. Scared the **** out of me a few times. I think they fixed it now by putting mini struts in the wingtips.

The 2014 Catalyst 14 I used did it, the 2014 Airush Zero 18 did it, 2012 Vector did it... Seems I'm locked into at least 4 struts!
