Confirm wing lift?

[Jorgy]

32 Lb HOG wing might be worth a look......

Take the refund, and start again fresh. Get exactly the brand, lift, and shape you want.

It is already on its way back.

Just when you thought this thread was dead........

My new rig should be delivered this Friday! I hope it goes better than the last. (Still waiting on a refund....)

What did you end up ordering?

This time it is a DSS 35lb Torus rig. I will probably raid my buddy's pool this weekend to fit it then try to get some dives. So I guess my Ranger gets at least 1 or 2 more dives tomorrow night before my new toys show up.

You'll love it!

spg01, I just want to clarify. You ordered a 35# wing, received a 40# wing and the vendor told you it was just mislabeled? Mind sharing who your vendor was? Sounds like they eventually made good by giving you a refund, I just wonder if it was just a mistake by whomever you talked to or a company-wide issue about just telling the customer something to get them off the line.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Maybe I missed something, but didn't it work out that the original wing measured 34 lbs lift when attached to a tank? 44lbs minus the 10 lbs dry weight?

If you wanted a 35 lb wing, that's what you got....

The most useful way a manufacturer can specify lift is while configured. Who cares what a free-standing wing displaces?
