Help with wing....OMS

[M-Cameron]

Willing to learn ...

Is the wing strapped down at the side or otherwise "anti-tacoed"?

How can you vent at low inflation percentages (like less than 1/3) without going significantly vertical to shift the bubbles to the outlet?

just the same as a i vent from a dedicated singles wing....i pitch slightly upward (50-60 degrees) and vent like normal.....im usually diving this wing in a drysuit, so i typically keep slightly feet down anyways.

I don't have a link. I'd have to scan the manual then post it. What's in it for me?

I just looked for the manual all I could find was the harness pages. If I come across, now I want to find it I'll post it.

OK got it! For your reading pleasure @grf88

thanks for posting that! i think im going to give that method a try.

Less angle than I expected. - More than I'd be happy with in attempting to maintain good trim.

Certainly doable in open water. - Would be concerning to me in vertically constrained environments.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Thanks for finding that. I had not seen it before and it looks like a good option.

I couldn't find it online. That manual is 10 years old. They may have stopped publishing it. Just joking with the what's in it for me line.

I like it because it seems "cleaner" than the usual method, and it uses less bungees. I make the 4 bungees 2 on each side at the bottom tighter than the others to force more air towards the top of the wing.
The 1st year I used the wing I kept getting forced down head first during a surface swim. Tightening the 4 bungees at the bottom has seemed to alleviate that.
