Just an update to my previous thread.
So, Since I dont like testing new gear on actual dives and the fact its freezing here in Northern Italy, I took my new rig to the Post pool to dial it in.
1st thing I noticed is the crotch strap, I now know why it is so important. I initially had it to loose, felt like the wing was gonna pop up over my head.
2nd thing is, I was surprised about the amount of weights I needed, Literally I could probably dive with zero weights with a 5mm wetsuit, a steel 12L tank, but after the tank emptied a little, I needed a few, so for now I am sticking with 6 pounds (I was using 12 pounds in my jacket BC)
3rd thing, I barley had to put any air in the wing to maintain neutral buoyancy.
Overall, I love this thing. Its gonna take some getting used to, but I love it so far.
Thank to all, who helped me out with the exhaust valve issue I have, I have ordered the new standard elbow.
