Can a 60 lb wing lift hp100 doubles with an hp100 deco bottle (3 hp100s)?
Why would you want to dive in that configuration?

Can a 60 lb wing lift hp100 doubles with an hp100 deco bottle (3 hp100s)?
To expand a bit on runsongas's point concerning trim.
Your question is one for your instructor, and if your instructor is advocating using negative steels for deco / stages you *might* want to expand your instructor search a bit.
To your questions concerning lift: Wing capacity is a function of the volume of your back gas, and the buoyancy of your exposure suit, not tank material.
You provided the volume of back gas, but zero info on the exposure suit.

I would like to dive wetsuit if possible with this configuration. Trying to figure out how I can get the maximum bottom time amount using a large third cylinder as staging and for decompression.
More bottom time. I don't believe in alu cylinders as to toxicity of imperceptible oxidation over the long term. I believe steel oxidation is more noticable and not as harmful for the lungs.Why would you want to dive in that configuration?
Thank you very much for the advice. Just wondering if the 60lb OMS Tesseract wing will be able to pull me up with three hp100's in a 5/4mm wetsuit as I also have an OMS side mount tech adapter (could go sidemount to be less lopsided if that would help).it'll lift it but you'll be severely lopsided, it's also VERY dangerous to do that in a wetsuit. Highly recommend looking at AL80's for stages and 40's or 80's for deco because you won't be able to stay flat with a 100 on your side. Guaranteed

*edit: please do not get in freshwater with doubles and an additional 10lb weight with a 60 lb wing. Unless you have a lift bag. You would definitely submerge. I just don't think you would make it back up.
