      Got a little Hang Time In.

Well I got a little hang time in and it all went well. Still need to do a little fine tuning on the 20 deg Incubator to get to fit correctly but think that some of my problem comes from using the swing set in the backyard and cannot get the correct pitch on the hammock.

Thinking about putting a hook into my garden shed and then can get the 12’ – 15’ feet to get that 30 deg angle.

My Exped pillow is not nearly as nice in the hammock as it is on the ground. Kept deflating it till I probably have about a half a breath in it or about a quarter full.

Well two weeks until graduation and then 3 more contract days and will be able to get some real fine tuning in then before the end of May trip.

Good for you Kevin, dial that thing in at home and have a sweet system.

Too much sag in the hammock can definitely complicate getting a good fit on a UQ.

Not much better than fiddling with the hammock. Might I suggest finding someone to lay in the hammock while you go around and adjust the incubator? This helped me out as I could see how everything was fitting and make adjustments accordingly.
