When you are in a horizontal position, is the bottom dump valve on the top or the bottom? I preferred the dump valve on the top because it made sense that it would dump the air more thoroughly and I wondered why some wings have it on the bottom. Now I'm beginning to suspect that if it's on the top it allows water to enter more easily once all the air is let out than the ones with the valve on the bottom.
Almost every time I fly the suitcase that contains my backwing/harness gets opened and searched. I wondered why and now I think it may be because there is some water left in it so now I'll be more careful to completely empty it before packing. The thing is, however, that I thought it was OK to have liquids in a checked bag. Am I wrong?
A suggestion, once you're finished up with diving for the trip, get as much water out of wing as possible and of course, manually blow up your wing, leave it expanded, bring it into your room to dry more before packing it the next morning. Am I right to assume that you aren't flying same day?
