bob.dino 0 #2 December 9, 2005 I don't think you can purchase a Skyhook separately at this time. You can either get it with a new Vector 3, or you may be able to send your Vector 3 back to RWS for modification. If you don't own or want a Vector 3, you're out of luck at the moment.

Fab 0 #3 December 9, 2005 You can only get a skyhook as an option when purchasing a new RW-container. _______________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shall555 0 #5 December 9, 2005 QuoteHmmph...not cool..oh well... thanks It's not as "uncool" as it sounds. You can hunt around here on the forums for some "billbooth" posts where he discusses the reasons he hasn't licensed the Skyhook to other manufacturers. He also discusses why on a recent Skydive Radio interview. Booth and RWS are careful, thoughtful people. Check 'em out. Cheers, shall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalle 0 #6 December 9, 2005 QuoteYou can only get a skyhook as an option when purchasing a new RW-container. I don't believe that to be true, Although I don't believe you can purchace the parts to install the skyhook "yourself" If you send your reg back to RWS the can retro-fit your rig with a skyhook. Contact 386 736 7589 I would ask for Dorothy or Mark, they should be able to guide you in the right direction and provide you with information on the cost.

JeepDiver 0 #8 December 9, 2005 QuoteOnly if its a Vector 3 I beleive. The vector se student rig I have been jumping has a skyhook system, the tandem rig RWS makes also has a skyhook system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #9 December 9, 2005 Sorry.. I should have stated of the V3 generation or more recent, as opposed to a V2.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #10 December 10, 2005 I've asked Bill about retro fitting the skyhook to V3s and apparently there are only 3 people out side of RWS that have been trained to do it. Unfortunately none of them are in Australia. I wantr to fit a skyhook but sending it back to the factory, would cost heaps and take ages. Bill said he will look into it (not sure what that means)You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

pilotdave 0 #11 December 10, 2005 Couldn't you remove the main and reserve and just send back the container for a retrofit? Can't imagine that would cost all that much... Factory repacks are very expensive anyway. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave I'm in Western Australia, t send it to the states and get it back in anything like a decent time frame would cost be a shit-load, not to mention the time I'd be without the rig and not jumpingYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
