I recently took advantage of Aqualung Canada's BC trade-in program and purchased a WTX harness, WTX3 donut wing and the steel backplate.
There seems to be at least 4 ways to set up the wing, harness and plate for single tank use:
1) Slip backplate directly into the pouch. This is covered in the manual, but it doesn't appear to really take full advantage of the plate, since nothing is actually attached to it. It's just ballast.
2) Bolt the wing, plate and harness together using an STA. Again, covered in the manual, but I'm not interested in an STA.
3) Attach the wing to the backplate using the tank bands. Covered in the manual, but it doesn't explain how the plate/wing is then attached to the WTX harness. I assume you could use bolts through the grommets.
4) Same as 3 above, but instead of using bolts, weave the tank bands through the harness. Ie, the bands hold the wing, plate and harness together. The manual does not describe this setup.
So, my question is does anyone have experience with either 3 or 4? If so, how well does it work for you?
Thanks!
