I'll have to see which wing has the bands for the 50's on it. Will keep you posted. Too many wings and BCD's. I lose track!!

Been on the project road, yeah, yeah, I know, I thought you retired???? Long story short,,,it's wicked good money and I get to chose my projects!!! With age and experience, come demands that are often accomodated and well compensated!! Pays for the costly habits, diving, cards, drones, and boats!!!
I'll keep you posted on dates when they firm up!! Hugs to the women folk of the household!!

A prior thread with some answers:
What wing for double 7L/LP50s? Or also 12L S72 LP85(?)
The DiveRite Rec wing 45 lb was recommended. I have and like it.
Also:
Oxycheq 42 lb. Vertex
xDeep Hydros 40 lb
Mares XR Twin 52 lb
Apeks WTX3 single tank wing

When I had my Double 50s:
Halcyon Evolve 40#
(Great, just maybe a little long. Super stable. Watch out for pinch flats when putting your tanks down.)
Oxycheq 42# Horseshoe
(Literally perfect width and length. Little narrow so as to run with big singles, no pinch flats. Many swear by donut wings, and although that’s what I run mostly, nothing wrong with a horseshoe wing. I believe the donut version should be about the same size/style with a small area across the bottom to join it all together.)

After checking, I have my LP 50's twinned on a 38lb lift HOG wing.
I have a demo HOG 38 wing here that I only use about twice a year. It's the horseshoe style. It was my LP72 doubles wing. Those have been split into side-mount cylinders. Unfortunately, the inflator is in the center so it might not work for you. If you're interested shoot me an email. Make you a deal on it. I've only been using it for rescue classes where I put an LP95 single on. It has enough lift to make it challenging when I wedge myself halfway in a doorway and the students have to extract me.
I have been using a Halcyon Evolve 40 with my double 50s. I'm using bands on the 50s that allow a standard width manifold. They are my favorite doubles. The inflator is not offset on the Evolve.
