I got to see the BC at BTS and it certainly looks interesting. I am sure you gents and ladies have done a fair amount of testing and was wondering if there is any difference in the way it feels and dives compared with say the eclipse system. Also I personally do not use the pads with the Aluminum plate as I find that there is really no need to as it is comfortable with or without the pads - wll this hold true for the new setup or are there protrusions that require the use of pads?
What are the bouyancy characteristics of the new system? With a 30lb wing, a Aluminum plate, STA and no pads I use 2lbs of weight with a full 3mm wet suit. How is that likely to change with the new system?
Finally as regards dumpable weight - is it possible to reach back and release weight with relative ease with the new system or is the weight stuck on the backplate essentially non dumpable?
Thanks
