Freedom Plate w/ DSS wing video

[Eric Sedletzky]

A customer of mine sent me this video of how a DSS wing works on my latest plate.
It works like a champ!

Does that mean the DSS wing will fit any bp with holes at the bottom?

No, it only means it fits this particular plate. Blanket statements usually lead to trouble.

Even though I have not seen one of your wings in person I hear many good things about them. I'm glad to know it works with my plate. I also like the way the inflator comes out of the center. With the shoulder straps coming out of a central location on the freedom plate it only seems natural that the inflator hose should follow it.

Eric,

I enjoyed the video, and I appreciate the kind words. My only concern in this thread is people might incorrectly assume that any wing can be used on any plate.

This has been a source of some confusion in the past.

There are more wings can be used with more conventional plates that have a channel and 11" center holes and the use of a STA, but I'm sure there has to be a few exceptions somewhere.
Where my plate differs and has trouble finding compatible wings is that there are no 11" holes and therefore no way to use a STA. There is no easy way to make it that way; it's an entirely different system. Being that it's totally flat it is impossible to use a STA attached with wing nuts. That is why my plate relies on wings with slots that line up with the slots I put in. I'm happy to say that DSS wings line up really well. I know that some Diverite wings will work and also Oxy and maybe a few others? I still wait to hear reports from people so I can pass on the info to others.
