@flymolo I put boots on my 50's in the rack, though if you use 3l's behind the 50's similar to the GUE JJ config, then you get get it to stand up if you set the heights right.
Good thought- I've been thinking about putting boots on the 50s myself, although it feels a bit...dirty
. The 3L o2 bottle I mount behind the 50s is upside down so I have to be careful about leaning the unit back onto the o2 regulator, and I'm not sure if the boots would help given the weight distribution with the o2 bottle piggybacked on. I'll probably just order a couple boots and give them try anyways.
@flymolo I will say that the bayonet connections from IQ Sub as used on the xCCR, Defender, Hammerhead, etc. are AWESOME and way better than the screw in connections. Would be awesome if Charlie used them. More expensive than screw in, but so much nicer.
Interesting. If they're anything like the bayonet style connectors I have to attach my BOV to the loop, that would be awesome.
@flymolo Does the head not have a head cal kit available or would it not work? The pressure plates that you can get for the Liberty that actually let you test it up to 3ata I think? at least 2, but I think more, that let you get your O2 cal, linear deviation, and cell limiting in one fell swoop is really slick. Perks of really complicated electronic sets with all the pressure sensors required to do it, and it actually does it all automatically from the solenoid. One of the issues with the Meg style heads though is the top plate is pretty thin so it can't take a whole lot of outward pressure and I recall hearing from
@Bobby I think of several of the early ones cracked from positive pressure in the can.
There is no head cal kit available, though with enough demand I'm sure there could be. It would be good to have a cal kit and cell checker all in one, if that's possible. But again I'm not sure if I'll still want one after more time.
I agree the loop hoses are also a little long. I've been tempted to cut it down 7 corrugations that Jon Bernot suggested, but can't bring myself to do it. I'll be buying the shorter hoses when Charlie has them officially available.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to those. I will probably opt for them too.
