  Scott, maybe you can tell us why one would need 100 pouds of lift? How about 
thirty maybe. Tell us why bungee cording wings makes them do something other 
than look convoluted? Have you ever seen real wings? Tell us how safe it is to 
have wings that contract if there is a leak or if you have to inflate them 
manually? Tell that to the dead guy's family (the one they fished out fo the 
quarry where his bondage wings were bungied too tight). 

  In fact, tell us what qualifies you to dispense advice when clearly, by the 
proof you provide here, you are an idiot? Try finding out what  you are taking 
about before you start passing out stuipd crap like this. How many "tec" bages 
did yo uget besides the one from P.T. Barnum for being a sucker in the dive 
store?- G
