What lift capacity is this wing?

[CAPTAIN SINBAD]

Its a black oxycheq wing that measures 18 wide from its widest part and 23 inch tall when deflated. I think it is one of their discontinued models. Does anyone own this wing? If anyone could tell me what lift capacity this would be Id appreciate it.

Cheers -

Can you fill it with water and measure?

 

[scubafanatic]

air up the wing, then see how much lead it takes to sink it in a bathtub ?

I weighed 204 with the empty wing strapped up. With water it was 224 lbs. I guess it is an 18 - 20 lbs travel wing. Correct?

Sounds like 20 pounds is right. I didn't know Oxycheq made one that small though...

They do. I have an Oxy #18 wing.

Fisheater: Could you possibly post a picture of your wing? I am trying to figure out if it is the same wing that I have and if yes which one is it.

Sounds like the 18 lb wing.

Hopefully the link below works, photos previously posted by RJP and Splitlip. They may assist. You could also try oxycheqs website if you haven't already done so. Good luck.

I believe Oxycheq made two 18 lb wings. The first (which I have) was the Travel Wing and was very light as it did not use a separate bladder. I believe the newer Mach V model has a zippered shell and a separate bladder. Both look about the same from the outside.
