Re: K1 project page INCLUDING publically-available files

Late update.... got things assembled enough to actually put it on (as a pack, with plate/wing) and step on a scale.

Looks like 45lbs empty (no gas or sorb) w/o battery and handset. My guess is that it will come in somewhere around 60lbs "ready to dive", including the wing and plate, with AL19s. Not bad, and not THAT far off a full singles config (AL80 is 32lbs empty, figure a SS plate and STA (8lbs) to counteract the buoyancy of the tank empty, then your wing (~3lbs?) and you're at 42. It'd be lighter with 13s, of course.

Since the lightest set of doubles I own is 70lbs dry (double 72s) this looks to be a real treat!
