Why screw around trying to fix a wing that is not made correctly when you can
just buy a Halcyon wing that is better made and never had a bungee (and never
will)?

away from the recwing together with the five plastic 'tubes' and guides around
the wing that hold the bungy?  Looking at the recwing it looks like a simple
solution.  Loosing the bungy and the rest of the paraphernalia that goes with
it will result is a smooth shaped wing which when diving will lay smoothly
against the tanks where the buoyancy is needed.
