I recently switched to doubled PST HP 100s and cannot maintain trim at all. Here is the setup.
Drysuit
AUL SS Heavy BP and wings
Double HP 100s
No weightbelt
The problem:
My center of gravity is to far forward (high on my body). When trying to maintain horizontal the air in my DS goes to my feet and I end up inverted. I remain fairly neutral when this happens. I have tried using 2 sets of ankle weights which helped but did not totally correct the trim problem, but the use of ankle weights is not acceptable.
Would gaiters fix the problem? I have tried using the DS as my primary BC and just putting in enough air to take the squeeze off. Pretty much the same results either way.
I have the doubles bolted to the top hole in the BP. Would moving it down (about 2") help?
BTW I have no problems with a single AL80.
Thanks
Paul
