I'm taking a poll on what wings users of the Freedom Plate are using.
I'd like some feedback on what people have tried and what they ultimately settled on.
For a long time I endorsed Oxycheq wings.
First with their original Razor and Signature series. Then later when the Mach V came out I redesigned the plate to accommodate the narrowness of that wing, plus tried to design it to also fit virtually any other wing out there that had slots - and maybe some that didn't originally have slots but the user may have put in their own.
I'm seeing now that there are many more players in the market so I'm expanding my mental data base so to speak.
I'm doing a little research to find out what people are using.
Maybe some of you would be willing to share your experiences, maybe with multiple wings and find that one works better than others.
I'm looking to expand my knowledge so I can try one myself and also to steer people to the best overall option when they seek advice.
Also if you have tips on harness kits and cam buckles would be a bonus.
I used to sell Oxycheq but I see there are many other options out there on those as well.
One thing, the harness webbing can't have a grommet installed in the center of the length because it will interfere with how the webbing strings up on the Freedom Plate.
I can give some dimensions of the slots:
The large plate the slots are 3.75" long with a 2.25" space between the two sets with an overall measurement of 9.75 from top to bottom (of the slots).
The small plate has 3.5" long slots with a 2" gap between the two sets and an overall top to bottom measurement of 9" (of the slots).
With these measurements maybe you can give some feedback on what slot dimensions are on different wings and also provide a comment on your opinion of overall quality of your wing.
It would be difficult for me to order every single wing out there just to see who makes what.
It would also help to add any info about any customer service issues, good or bad, with the wing manufacturer or retailer (or internet source) where you bought it.
Add a price point if you want.
Thanks in advance.
