I have to say, I agree with Mark. I've been in places where I simply have to struggle to get trough. If I had pinched the wing between the tanks and the entry paint for sure I would have damaged it.
I also use the right side bungies to stow my long hose. Ye I could se how you avoid a lot of flap if the thing is wrapped nicely.
Then again I'm not going to persuade to keep them because if you take them off I might ask you to send them over for me.
Take care
