I have had this wing for a couple of years with no trouble, however after a lay off for a few months I decided to check out all my gear.
I blew up the wing till it was firm and left it for about an hour.
When I checked it again it was about 3/4 full.
Now I have never tried this (filling and leaving full) do you think I have a problem or is it normal to lose a bit of air or should it stay inflated indefinite.
What do you guys think?
 
You might have a leak somewhere. Put it in the tub underwater and see if it bubbles anywhere. Then aquaseal the leak. I had the same thing happen on my old OMS wing too.
 
You should not lose 1/4 of your volume in a hour.

When checking the wing for leaks, don't forget to check your auto-inflator, too.
 
Fill to max then use some soap water solution with a sprayer....you will find your leak by the bubbles. You might want to remove the dumps and check for sand or other material preventing it from closing fully.
