councilman24 36 #26 March 22, 2004 That's a differrent kind of slippage from what I'm talking about. I was discussing slippage when loaded at opening. A little is good, too much is bad, too little not so good.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reginald 0 #27 March 23, 2004 Quoteyea, my left side leg strap slips...I was told to send it back to the manufacturer however I can't give the rig up for that long. A rubber band has preserved used for the time being... Do you know how this would sound to a Whuffo? But we all understand. LOL!"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now.

Price to ship rig: $25 Price to fix problem: not much, mfgr may stand behind own work and do it for free. Price to rent rig in the mean time because you must jump: $100. -=-=-=-=- Pull.

deurich2003 0 #30 March 23, 2004 Frognog...I have spent most of my life cobbing anything I can to save a buck... $100 is $100 (rented gear) and yes the manufacturer did say they would do it for free. Why spend $100 if the rig works just fine...all it needed was a little cobb. If you want to rent a rig for me then I'll send it to the manufacturer so you can feel better about it. Never Give up!

That's not what I meant. What I meant was that to a whuffo, a problem seems to have a cheap solution; hey see the price to ship and fix, and that's all they add up. But a skydiver also figures in the cost of renting a rig in the meantime, because he must jump! That's my issue, anyhow. The thing that scares me most thinking about a reserve ride is finding another rig to get back up in the air. Same with regularly-scheduled reserve repacks. And same with sending something back to the mfgr to have it worked on. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
