Terminal-V 0 #1 February 10, 2005 Hey Everyone, Just ordered a aerodyne icon a few weeks back and need to know what kind of cypress it takes, a one pin or a two pin. and cypress can be changed from a one to a two pin and vice a versa, right? Thanks, Bowen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 93 #2 February 10, 2005 The Icon is a one pin reserve system. The Cypres can be changed with a new cutter. Know thy gear!People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot1 0 #3 February 10, 2005 Thats some great dealer you ordered it from. Did they not explain anything to you about the rig before you bought it? Edwww.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminal-V 0 #4 February 10, 2005 She's accualy a great dealer. I told her that I would get a AAD on my own and ship it to her. I work at skyventure and everyone knows her name and has not said anything but great things about her and that includes bushman. I never asked her about the differant kinds of AAD's because I had some time to start my reseach and get it to her by mid march when the rig will be ready to be put togeather. it tax season and time to spend some money on a ADD.

Hmm, guess some people are different in not knowing everything about a piece of gear before buying it to jump, but what the hell, it looks cool and was priced right....

GravityGirl 0 #8 February 10, 2005 Quote Thats some great dealer you ordered it from. Did they not explain anything to you about the rig before you bought it? ----------------------------------------------- I don't carry/sell any rigs that require a two pin cypres. One pin is pretty much the standard. So in fact, I do not breif my customers on the two pin cypres. Other than that I think I do spend quite a bit of time with each customer explaining their set-up and answering questions. Thank you very much. But perhaps now I should incorporate, "By the way, your rig will require a one pin cypres." into my breifing, so I'm not considered a BAD DEALER. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

Isn't that why he is asking questions BEFORE he gets his gear. He KNOWS is is cypres ready. He was most likely reading the classifieds and came across some 2-pins for sale. Now he's getting his questions answered to further his gear knowledge. Give him a break Ed. Give me a break. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
