Hello Forum,

Have an open question: I´m a beginner diver but have "Done It Right" and bought myself a Halycon Eclipse Wing with a 30Lb single wing and tank adapter. Also diving a DUI TLS drysuit. Dived the rig about a dozen times with a 10L steel but notice that I keep fighting to stay balanced, meaning I tilt left or right (ref my spine as the rot. axis). I do make sure my drop weights are equally balanced left and right.

Is this typical behaviour for this kind/brand of wing? I know it was actually conceived for doubles, but sure would love to use less air fighting for stability. I have to wave my hands a lot too which is probably ok for the disco, but admittedly looks a little strange to my dive partners or any other denizen of the deep.

Sorry about the mixture of English and Metric, here-I´m a Yank diving in Germany.
