Air Trapping in Classic Wing

[thethumper]

Anyone else expiriencing air trapping w/the DR Classic Wing? I found it tends to trap air in the right lobe of the bladder & causing a hateful barrel roll.

Granted I have a rec wing not a classic, but I didn't notice much trapping. The few dives I dove on it sans bungee caused it to be hyper-sensitive to my trim. e.g. I tended to drop my right shoulder more than my left, and I constantly had to twist hard to shift the air back to the right side to keep from rolling. I'm convinced it'd be much less annoying with a smaller wing...

You guys are too much...

Maybe an extra bladder would solve the problem..

I have SportWings on my FredT SS Plate and they have attachment points on the bladder to hook onto my 2" webbing belt. That way it can't taco around the tank and hold trapped air. Works great so far...

Ya know come to think about it.... I think my Classic has them as well. I'll have to check.

You are talking doubles and not a single tank, right?
