I've got an old 5m duotone wing,2019,it's leaking around the inlet valve.

Is there anyway to fix it???

Air seems to be coming out around where the outside of the blue flap.

Ive tried to glue the flap down,but that was a dismal failure.

I use the wing,when friends or relos want to try winging.

thx for any info

Normally it will actually be the bladder inside the leading edge that has a puncture, the air just leaks out around the valve area.
Switch Kites have a series of videos that show how to find and repair leaks, remove bladders etc.
It is virtually exactly the same for most wings and is not that hard to do

thx for your reply tightlines,will look at trying it

i thought because it was leaking around the inlet valvethat the problem was there

it makes sense that a leaking bladder has only one point of escape

thx for your time and input
