Hello,
Yesterday I just had chance to test the new BWP set up in the pool. It is Apeks travel plate with DSS Torus 17 wing and DR 13" STA. I did have few problems with the setup.
1.While floating on the surface vertically, my head did not touch the first stage when I look up. But when I dived horizontally under the water, the first stage seems to move up to my head and I couldn't look up front properly because my head hit the 1st stage. (1st stage is AL Legend LX.)
2. On surface, my body did not float as high as when I used DSS SS plate and DSS wing. I don't know why. On land, I measured the wrist strap of both rigs and they are about the same height so I guess both plate are about the same position in my back.
3. Under water, I felt that using soft plate was not as stable as SS plate and my body roll over pretty much (left-right). Is it normal for soft plate? or what cause the roll over?
Thank you very much for helps,
Bom

My plate is about the same position as figure 1 in this link
