I set up the inflator so that the oral inflate (mouthpiece) is on the outside
and the power inflate button is on the inside.  I use my index finger to
inflate the wing (as you do) and thumb to inflate the dry suit.  The
mouthpiece, being on the outside, is a useful point to hold the inflator
assembly when dropping down as it allows clearing and suit inflation without
releasing the inflate.  I hold the inflator mouthpiece in the nook formed
between my thumb and index finger.

Hey folks, looking at the Halcyon wings the lp hose and inflate
button are on the *outside* of the BC hose (diver's left). I'm
used to these being on the inside, operating the BC inflate with
index finger and drysuit inflate with two middle fingers.

Is there some DIR reason for this placement, or is it arbitrary?

Cheers
Ric
