Torus 17 Wing Bouyancy

Hey Tobin,

Out of curiousity, what is the bouyancy of your Torus 17 wing? Not the whole enchilada including the kydex plate and all, just the wing itself.

Thanks,
John

logically, it'd be 17# - hence the name.

None of our wings are inherently buoyant.

The lift of each wing is reflected in the model name, a Torus 17 offers 17 lbs of lift, a LCD 30 offers 30 lbs etc.

Thanks Tobin. Yes, I'm asking about inherent bouyancy, not lift capability.

I was thinking about how I am needing 3lbs weight with the wing on, and wondered if I'd need less if I took the wing off. Guess not. Damn, I gotta lose a few more pounds of internal ballast!

See ya,
DS

This may be the source of the inherent buoyancy.
