[quote=Smudgegs;184796]Don't know if it's standard or not, as I just got my hands on my new (well new to me) KISS tonight

however the LP ports for wing/suit on mine point out and up at my right shoulder (as in the pic below).
So, is this normal? and if it is, how do people route hoses? Do you use some sort of 90deg bend or just a longer hose doubled back on itself?
Any ideas? (not that I'm itching to bolt on a spare wing and take it for a play

lol)
Thanks,
Smudge

Sticking out in the breeze like that creates drag & snag. I used 90s to clean things up a bit. Some will say the 90s create another failure point. I think that having the hoses protected more than offsets that concern. Just make sure to use quality hardware.
