    Need help figuring lift capacity of my wing ...

    Hello I have an oxycheq wing whose lift I am unsure of. The deflated wing is 18 Inches wide (from its widest part) and 23 inches long. I think it is one of your discontinued models because I went to the oxycheq site and was unable to find any wing with those specifications. Could you kindly tell me what lift capacity is this wing?

    Thanks -

    Got a bathroom scale? Weigh yourself along with the empty bc, then fill it with water and weigh it again. I think that would work... You could also fill it with water and then dump the water into some containers of know volume to figure how much water/air the bc holds..
