Hello Bob, Have done exactly what you are suggesting about a couple of years ago. It worked as a temporary remedy... why? The over-pressure dump valve is placed in an awful side - it is in the right, exactly where my canister is supposed to be; there is a crappy dump valve associated with the inflator; the corrugated hose is too long; the inner blade material is weak and subject to puncture and the finishing is far-from-good. Well, being there, done that... stick to the real thing and look for an Halcyon style wing - same cost, better solutions and increased quality. IMHO, a better wing will have the OPV dump valve in the left, an elbow conector to the inflator, a shorter corrugated hose and a reinforced inner blade.

Bungied wings are bad right? So, from the Dive-Rite range a 'rec wing' is bungied and a 'classic wing' is not. In fact I think the only wing without a bungy is the 'classic wing'. Has anybody ever considered cutting the bungy away from the recwing together with the five plastic 'tubes' and guides around the wing that hold the bungy? Looking at the recwing it looks like a simple solution. Loosing the bungy and the rest of the paraphernalia that goes with it will result is a smooth shaped wing which when diving will lay smoothly against the tanks where the buoyancy is needed. What do you think? Bob -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
