Hello All,
I have Tecline DIR setup with the 22 Donut Special Edition wing, that I have been using for quite a while with double steel LP 85s. I am wondering if there is a rule of thumb for the positions used? i.e. There are two positions on the Wing and 3 on the backplate.
With the backplate in the middle position and the wing further towards my tail it seems I'm a bit head heavy. I think this is preventing me from comfortably staying horizontal.
I have the Halcyon weight pouch between my tanks and I think I'm a little overweighted with 11 lbs, and a drysuit. I have the tank bands all the way up to the shoulder of the tanks.
The question is: Apart from being able to reach my valves, is there a good reason to leave the backplate in the middle position? Opting to shift weight more to the tail?
Likewise, is there a reason not to shift the wing up towards my head?
Any suggestions or rules of thumb are greatly appreciated as I try to get things dialed in!
