single wing for double alum 80s ?

[DaveP]

njoynthewater,

The 40lb wing your talking about was made for doubles or a single? Wings designed for doubles usually are wider.
I have used the Halcyon 40lb wing thats made for doubles on double alum 80s and yes it was very nice (smaller than my 55 wing!).

Thanks,
Dave

I was surprised to read that a single wing on a set of doubles could bend a backplate...just something to consider:

Deco Stop - Backplate Bent

[FW]

Looks like the consensus on TDS is that a wing CAN'T bent a backplate. A narrow wing might lift the 80s off your back, and make you unstable, though.

Why not just sell the single tank wing, and get a smaller doubles wing? Stuff moves pretty fast on the Gear Excannge forum.

FW,
I love that single tank wing for singles in the ocean! I usually use a single lp120 and that wing works great.

I have not used a 40lb doulbes wing on lp104s yet (I normally dive lp95s) but kind of wish I bought one instead of my 55.

Maybe I will just take my 36lb single wing with me next trip out of the country and try it on some alum 80s... Sounds like thats something I should do in April!

Thanks guys! I guess the only way to know is to try it! I will not inflate it to much, don't want to bend anything (alum 80s would have a little more room between them and the bp than 8" tanks).

Thanks,
Dave

ps. FW, I'm reading the Walls info now and trying to learn how it works. Thx

Dave didn't say anything about Florida caves. It's a big world

I misread the original post as "cave country" instead of "out of the country". My bad.
