John,

I use the classic wings on my BC for doubles
then use it when on travel (usually the cylinder
will be an AL80). 

The wings tend to hang upward around the cylinder if one is
overweighted. I find that I need no weight in warm water
so use very little air for buoyancy and so the wing hanging
is minimal. 

The wing  in this configuration can also trap air a little
(meaning that one needs to get upright to dump air from the 
wings).

I would recommend going to the smaller set of wings for 
single tank use.

Steve

All,

Anyone use the classic wing for single tank diving? Any obvious
problems/tips from first-hand experience I should know about?

thanks in advance,

JT
