I think I read somewhere that the Outcast tubes require 5 to 5.2lbs. It is slightly different for each tube as you can see only on the 2 that I compared mine to.
I have a digital inflator made by Ryobi. It will allow me to preset the amount of air.
While in the water on cold days, you will notice that the craft will lose some pressure. This is due to the cold air around the chamber.
I built a little device with a pressure differencial in it to maintain the 5lbs that my FC4 requires. When I am 1/4 of a lb below optimum, it comes back on and re-inflates. That allows me to maintain perfect inflation at all times.
I need to make a reverse mechanism for hot weather since the tube will expand more while in warm air. I am also working on a different setup for the Skeeter since it has 4 chambers instead of the 2 from the FC4.[cool]
