We noticed a large difference in handing the rings when inflating them from about one psi (as yours appears to be) to over two psi.

FIRST says that the tube should be ~9.5" in diameter when fully inflated, but we have seen that it is much harder to control the tube when it is only slightly deflated. Because this is just a prototype, we will try to figure out all that other stuff when we get everything working. This was just a good proof of concept.
