In Skippers defence we started talking about the Cub Single wing.

Thin(ish) string no toggle

how's it done that?

isn't this issue, just about (1) getting your weight right and (2) then getting the weight in the right place?

Weight is about more than just lead though. Bouyancy in the right place counts for something.

At the start of the dive (and remembering the forum this is in) you're going to be using the wing to offset the weight of the gas in a twinset.

Well, it is cheap stuff and it comes almost from the local gardening store, but it works fine and it's very solid. We tried to destroy one by hitting it with a hammer... we succeeded but we really had to hit it hard - http://www.stde.ch/en/faq.php
