Why?

I find that with my Diverite original wings, I can migrate the air in the
wing to one side to counteract the lop-sided weighting caused by a canister
or stages.  The air just stays where it is put unless I go vertical.  I have
re-enforced my wing bladder with a truck inner tube, so this may contribute
to the stability of the asymmetrical buoyancy created.

If I can recall back to my stroke days when I used Zeagle wings, I had a
side-to-side trim problem and used to adjust the weighting with the stroke
weight pouches.  The air in these wings would not stay put as they do with
the Diverites, so perhaps we have an issue of wing bladder design/shape
here.  Which wing do you use?
