Jim, steel back tanks, steel stages, and a wet suit - there you have
some serious weight. If you then have the wings bungeed in, pumping gas
into them only blows the relief valve. 

Most of thes big time "tekkies", who are nothing but strokes you would
not go in a pool with, use crap like this since they think it is more
"technical", when in fact it is a sign of ignorant stupidity. 

These guys look to me about the same as the ones who stand around the
freeway exits with the "homeless, hungry , broke, please help, I am too
freaking stupid to know any better than to look like this", "need money
to buy bondage wings", "will work to be a stroke", "need five buck to
get trimix certified".
