Yea, lost me too on that last one. It's common sense to me that positioning is compromised when, for example: you have a 14amp canister light and are diving double aluminum's with partially empty stages. If the wing is restricted (bungee) the diver is unable to compensate and will struggle to remain upright. You need to be able to "move the bubble" to where it's needed to "balance the rig". You can't do that with bondage wings. -----Original Message----- From: "Matthias Voss"<mat.voss@t-*.de*> To: "Kevin Rottner"<kevin@So*.co*> Cc: techdiver@aquanaut.com Date: Wed Sep 26 01:18:58 PDT 2001 Subject: Re: Bungee Wings of Death >Can you be more specific on this , Kevin ? > >I thought the momentum created is defined by force ( up or down) x >distance between where the force is applied and axis of rotaion, which >will be very close to the center of gravity ( to be exact, to the >meta-center in an immersed body) > >So the closer the up and down forces are to the diver , the less >momentum they create ( SS backplates, single bottle wings, no oversize >wings) > >What did I not get right ? > >Matthias > >Kevin Rottner schrieb: >> 5.
