Do you use the 45° wings for downforce as well as for yaw stabilization?

You are going to use 3 nozzles of 15mm each.

I presume you will be using 15mm gardena nozzles at 260 psi.
(if the pump is the Topeak JoeBlow Ace Floor)

The 15mm female part are only connectable with a plastic quick-release.
(there isn´t a metalic quick-release for 15mm).

Therefor I wonder if the quick-release won´t blast at 260 psi... :roll:

I was in Harbor Frieght and saw some fully brass disconnect style (gardinia type) fittings very cheap. Was thinking about getting them to try but have too many irons in the fire now for a new releas project.
Any opinion can be raised, but few grow up to become facts.
