All,

I will be picking up my Meg at the end of the month, and as I was thinking about it i had a couple of questions.

1) where are you mounting the 13 cuft drysuit bottle?

2) I have a 50lb explorer wing. Would you recomend using something else on the Meg?

3)I know one of the computers has a wrist strap on it, but does the other? I can't tell from the pictures, but it didn't look like it.

4) has anyone tried to move the counterlungs where they were not on your chest?

Thanks

1) NA (I'm a tropical water, thin skinned pussy)

2) I'm using an Oxycheq 40lb signature series combined with a Golem sidemount. It has a wide bottom but is non-donut. Golems sidemount kit is strongly recommended for the stowage of offboard bailout. A pair of 80's is hardly noticed, and anything smaller can easily be forgotten.

3) As recommened by most others. Change primary handset strap for bungees. The cable of the secondary is first velcro'd in the back of the right CL and the handset clipped to left shoulder d-ring.

4) I clip the CL's to the bottom of the backplate (using a clip + a short length of thick doubled surgical tubing). The top of the CL's are held only by the topmost loop of behind CL velcro to the harness, and loop connection. This way I keep the lungs under my arms, I tap the OPV less, better streamline, and my stomach (rather than the CL's) actually rubs any of the tight squeezes I need to get through. I have never noticed effects to WOB.
