Hey guys I just got my rig today and MAN is it sweet. I can't wait to get it wet. I was noticing that with it all set up the Wing is rather restricted then if it were hanging lose and fully inflated. I have the T26 wing. The reason I ask is if I ever needed the extra lift to say pick up trash or a lose weight belt will I have that extra margin or not. Do you only get the full 26#lift if it is maxed out or do you compensate for the slight restriction when all set up.

Did I mention it is really sweet:D. Thank you for making a kick ass product.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the kind words. We test our wings capacity in the "as dived" condition.

If you test the wing loose, not fit to a plate and cylinder the capacity will be greater than 26 lbs.

Built into a rig it will be ~26 lbs.

Thank you that's now another reason I like DSS common sense in superior construction.

Thanks Tobin
