Hi,
I have finally assembeled my doubles and I'm setting up the rig. I'm using a halcyon explorer 55 wing, I have a DS4 of the right post and atx 200 on the left post (will probably soon replace the ds4 with another 200) I have the folowing questions. First, how high is the top of the wing supposed to go? Mine comes up prety much even with the isolator crossbar. The problem is that if I want to run the backup hose between the back of my head and the wing instead of between the wing and the tanks (which is how I read it was supposed to be routed) there is a lot of stress on the hose.

My other question is who is the long hose routed? Does it go staight down and come out under the wing or does it go down from the reg and make a turn around the wing about half way down? If the firts one is true, then whe bottom of my wing is lower then my can light and I can't catch the whose under it. If the second is tru, what hapens when the wing is inflated? Doesnt it pull on the hose?

I'm including some pictures of my setup. Please feel free to cretique and give suggestions.
Thanks, Stas
