I saw one this weekend at Peacock Springs. I laughed and thought to myself if he fell over it wouldn't hurt, those Boeing sized wings would take him sloooowly to the ground
Wing. OMS?

Funny thing. I just put air in my wing and roll a little bit, and it goes into one side, and if I'm in trim, it can't get out and go to the other side. I suppose if you don't dive in trim, it might be an issue to do that.
I wonder if the OP feels as though he got a good answer to his original question?

Like so many other controversial equipment choices, the bungied wing is probably not a serious hazard in and of itself. Personally I think the problem with them is that the bungie is usually used to try to contain a wing that's way too big for the given application. If you take the bungie off the wing you still have a wing that's too big.
The bungies are not so tight that they will force all the gas out of the wing; in fact, they may be more likely to trap gas in the wing.
Hogarthian principles should apply in wing selection; enough lift, but any more than is necessary is a negative. Then the whole bungie debate becomes moot as you simply have no need to contain the wing.

The bungees will force the air into an non-bungeed side of the wing.
LOL, Lynn.
I should have put the "pros" part of my post in quotes. Something I have read here and elsewhere.
My point was, if one is to claim a benefit of a bungeed wing is it's ability to balance the gas, then he must acknowledge that the bungee affects the volume of of gas in the wing.
