I was referring to tank changing....
And I haven't had personal experience with it....
Some just related to me that they didn't like the way the bands and the wing and the plate all flopped around when the ss cam bands were un-hooked. As for the weighted STA that would keep everything together... as long as the little wing nuts don't come undone ;-)

I do find that things get a little sloppy even with the old cam bands when I change tanks on my singles rig but then I haven't bolted the wing to the plate and I am not using an STA.

BTW: I use ss lock washers under the wing nuts on my doubles. Have use nylocks before but I like the way I do it now better.

I shall refrain from commenting on people's inability to change a tank with a view of keeping this board's PG rating intact, etc

Wing nuts ? Dont use 'em :mean:

Ahh, yes, happens - a bit, if one doesnt use the bolts. I would still think that it is no worse than an average jacket BC.

Thats how I (now) have the STA setup. =-) NO wing though, just normal ones.
