Yes I want this instructor to be my tech instructor. Infact I like him. He knows that I am on a budget and really helps me about payments and makes discounts for me. He sometimes gives me the equipment I need and do not want any money. I pay him when I want. So it's based on trust. You are right that I need a good relationship. So do you think that I must not order from internet and buy the equipment I want through him? Hmmm I think that you are absolutely right. When he sees that BP/W purchased from another source, he wont feel nice. I will think about that, thank you.
If you really like him then by all means support him but if you're buying from him to keep him nice, then something's wrong.
When I first read your initial post I was surprised that you were told a bp/w cannot be used for single tank and doubles. I'm even more surprised that he's saying you're going to have problems on the surface n balance with a single's setup. Something doesn't add up.
It may be difficult at first but once you get your weighing right, it becomes almost an extension of you. Unless you over inflate the wing on the surface you are not going to fall face first, inflate it enough till you are comfortably above the water n stop.
I have nothing against OMS but there are cheaper n better equipment out there.
Your call,
