thx for your input, you are most experienced in these matters.
most if not all of my dive setups are with no suit and weights attached to the bp/wing harness. i found on my most recent trip that with the bp/sta i needed 4 lbs to properly weight myself. that was with a AL80. with a steel tank i would guess i could get by with 2 lbs or less.
with that being said, back to my question. with my current dive equipment setup it seems to me, to have my wing keep me and my gear afloat ON THE SURFACE i've got to be coming close to a 18 lb wings ability.
thx again, seaflea
