Just an update to my previous thread.
So, Since I don’t 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.
 
Cool, congratulations, it's nice when our new toys work out. Yes, crotch strap needs to snug, shoulder straps not so much. Of course you'll need a little more when salt water diving.
