Halcyon small size BP - cam/tank straps

[Humuhumunukunukuapua'a]

Hey all -
I ordered a Halcyon small backplate for my son, and didn't realize it has no slots cut for cam bands. Does this mean that that plate requires an STA?

Never used an STA, and I missed that design difference with the small plate. Doh! Any ideas on how to attach a tank to this thing?

Cheers -
Gregg

STA is the only way to do it.

I mean, you could cut the plate, too.

STA is the way to go.

STA, or plasma cut the slots.

Curious why they don't have slots cut in this one.

Unless Tobin gets up and running again I'd say there's room in the market for someone who wants to make a small size plate at a fair price. Thanks for the help everyone!

because they can now charge for a STA.....

And now, will the STA work with the wing? If the wing has integral roll control, it can be problematic....

You have to remember that Halcyon’s wings do NOT have slots for cam bands.

They never have, at least not as far as I remember.

Halcyon BP and STA will work with Oxycheq MkV wing (with anti-roll pillow). I have had used this setup for a long time.
