Will the oxycheq wing fit on a transpac?

I have the DR deluxe harness myself, however I believe the Oxy wing will fit a transpac given the TP has the same hole configuration (diameter & spacing) as a standard backplate.

If you are using a Single Tank Adapter (STA), it will work just fine.

This is good to know. I was about to ask the same thing. Can any STA work, or does it have to be DR? I'm thinking the bolt distance is the same and you could use another brand. I have a TransPac w/ a Trek wing and have taco issues with it. I was thinking of changing the wing and then I could change to a BP eventually.

Any brand of STA should work perfectly. The all have 11" spacing for the bolts.

Pretty sure any STA from the major manufacturers will work.

I have a dive rite harness, oms plate and am getting an Oxycheq wing and oxycheq STA - pretty sure it will all work (based on the info I got from this site). Fingers crossed!

I use OMS plates with 3 different Oxycheq wings all the time. I use OMS and Oxycheq STAs, but any will work.

The only time you really get into plate/wing compatibility issues is when you are trying to thread cam bands through the slots on the plate and then through the slots on the wing (ie not using a STA).

More like Taco Grande! Nice example of why dual purpose wings suck.

Bah! I like my red taco grande rec wing! eepwalla: Have I dove any other wing on a single tank.. no... but oh well I don't want to know what I'm missing and I'd like to think managing the taco has made me a better diver

Put down your popcorn, Cmuf and give us another pic!

There are plenty more tacos where that came from!

No, it does not but it is not as narrow as the Mach V and even if it is I don't care. The post I made was presented clearly as opinion and my opinion I will stay with it. I never stated the DSS wing would taco or otherwise or even bring it up but I did say I like the Mach V because it is probably the most narrow single wing available today. There are some other reasons I like the Mach V and chose it that go beyond the disussion. Hey, if that inflator hose were off centered I might be diving that wing.

I have some pics in the water but they were not taken by me and I better not post them as they belong to another photographer.
