Large car tube - cut the inside radius all the way out, cut what is left into the shape of the bladder and lay it over both sides of the bladder. cut out the areas for the dump and so forth. The ability to trap gas on one side of a wing is intentional, Mathias. You do not want to lose that ability to balance your trim. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Voss [mailto:mat.voss@t-*.de*] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 8:11 AM To: George Irvine Cc: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Re: wing + inner tube I believe I was not very precise here. With the inner tube, which size to start with ? Motorcycle, car, lorry-size ? It will well protect, and may be clean out some of the bladders wrinkles. The tube with the hole, I wanted to insert it inside the inner bladder, via the bottom dump, and feed it right through to the opposite side horse shoe like.
