I was looking for ideas on making a light travel BP/W for a single tank and someone suggested making the wing out of an 8" PVC pipe. I was wondering if anyone here as done this? If I am understanding this suggestion right it would involve two 8" sections cut to the length of the backpack with a cross section at the top to connect both pipes. If you added caps at the bottom of the pipes you could also us it to store small items you do not want damaged in transit. If the basic premise works then how can you inflate and deflate this type of wing? My original idea involved attaching either Oxyquen 18lb, DSS 12 or 17lb wing to a commercial diving harness like this. The original problem I wanted to solve was finding a way to attach the wing other then along the center line of the harness.
