But then again, not quite

Anyone cares to post the dimensions of the fully kitted Meg with the 3 L bottles?

Thanks

I believe you're going to be looking at about...

Meg= 7.0" dia.
Faber 20s= 4.9" dia. x 2
Cylinder brackets= 1.0" x 2

=18.8" (47.8cm) wide

Edit: From these measurements, it doesn't look like it would fit (being ready to dive) into the Storm iM2950 that Jakub sells. It would have to be broken down into pieces. With smaller diameter onboard cylinders than the Faber 20s, it would drop in ready to dive.

=16.8" (42.7cm) wide

Edit: From these measurements, one should be able to drop it right into the Storm iM2950 that Jakub sells.

The maths don't seem to add up!
7+4.9+4.9+1+1=18.8in.

Are the brackets the Tiger Gear? That's what I have ordered.

Just measured mine
23.5"h x 16.5"w x 10.5" d
That's with 3l steel bottles attached with Tiger gear, Low Profile backplate, ArmadilloCCR kit, Golem BOV, radial scrubber, low profile ADV and cordura CLs. Everything is assembled, just pull it out of the box and go diving. That's how I roll

(it has rollers)
Remember, I just drive up to most of my dive sites. For flying, remove valves, put a copy of Advanced Diver Magazine with Meg breakdown (issue 15) on top with a note and phone number for the TSA folks to get in touch with me.

D'oh! Looks like I had it right the first time; 16.8"

That's good to know. Thanks Jakub.

I've managed to get the whole unit plus the wing into an IM2600.

It is in fact just inside legal carry on size on most international carriers, I used BA last.

I had to break the hoses down to get it to fit without sitting on the lid. My harness would have to travel with my other gear. I thought about wearing it through security but thought they'd be less than amused by trying to get through with a metal plate a black webbing harness strapped to me while innocently whistling at the ceiling.

One downside though it does weigh 21kgs. Which means I have to put on a very convincing show of not slamming it down on the conveyor belt.

I also thought best to put it in an overhead bin when no one was sitting directly underneath or across from it.

Happy flying
