Transpac with OMS Wing

[StapperTX]

Has anyone used an OMS Mono wing with a Transpac? I'm not sure if things would line up correctly.
Thanks!

Never tried the OMS, but have used a Hollis and a HOG wing. The holes on the HoG did not line up perfectly, but work well enough.

You can try, but like @Caveeagle said, you may have alignment issues. More importantly, even if everything does line up correctly, you'll still have to contend with the wing being relatively unsecured on the transpac. You may also want to punch some holes in the wing and use sex bolts to keep it put in place since it won't be retained properly. Can be done, wouldn't recommend bothering. If you want to use the transpac, find a Dive Rite wing.
I would recommend not buying new OMS wings though...

Thanks for the quick reply. Curious why you recommend staying away from new OMS wings?

If you are just buying something new, why not get a Dive Rite Voyager wing? It will fit perfectly.

I think someone on this site has a used one for sale. $150(?)

Also, the TransPac should be attached to your with with a pair of sex bolts. Any wing set up with standard spaced grommets should line up. It’s the cam bands that have to thread through the wing center that might not line up perfectly,

Dive Rite have pretty much made their newer wings nearly universal using a Cross strap + for the center section.

not a company I would be willing to risk that much money on. History of quality and service issues since they were bought.
If you have to buy a new wing you may as well buy the one designed for that system as well.

Thanks to you both!
