    Inflate with lung pressure only. If the cap seals won't hold that they need to be replaced.

    My kit was delivered Sept. 1994. I never could figure out why the sky light. when it is installed and covered no light shines in.

    You are not supposed to put covering material over the "sky-light".
    My model 3 had this feature and worked well, except during night flight of course.
