Spinners vs. Flight Clips

[nautique95]

I want to get some racks to put on my 2005 206 Air, but would like to know the pros and cons of each product!?! Personally, I like the way that the flight clips hold the boards upright to the tower, but are they inconvenient to load and unload?? I know there has been a lot of discussion on these, but would like a little more insight on them! Plus, the poll hasn't helped because the votes are dead even now!!

Thanks guys!!

I have the clips and don't have any complaints about them. I do like the way that the boards are held closer to the tower. Once you get used to getting them in and out, it is easy to use.

flight clips

INNOVATE, NOT IMITATE, the flight clips were a classic design / made specifically for the flight control towers etc. The new spinner racks have been on other boats for the past 3 years, correct craft should of incorporated the classic flight clip to hinge or rotate or something, not use another boats idea or design.

two cents worth.

IE: I was planning on getting a custom flight control tower made out of 2.5 inch aluminum, same dimensions but just beefier, but I think the new towers are beginning to grow on me! I might just get one of the new ones.

RE: flight clips

we run both, can carry one board in the flight clips with two in the spinners. On a busy day the wakesurfers go in the clips and the decks go in the spinners
