Sizing lungs???

I'm sure this has been asked before...

How do you size lungs?

I guess if you're buying new, then the LDS/Instructor will advise, but assuming you're looking at the 2nd hands for sale before looking at Instructors, then how do you know whether medium or large?

Nick,
best bet is to just ring up AP and they'll tell you what measurements to take. however you may not be able to get hold of them until Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Or if you download the inspo manual, it may be in there.
