smiler 0 #1 March 21, 2006 Anyone know how much it costs to retrofit a Skyhook onto a Micron? I've searched but haven't found out, and this'll probably be quicker than contacting the manufacturer... www.wingin-it.co.uk Wingin' It wingsuit school Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #2 March 21, 2006 Quotethis'll probably be quicker than contacting the manufacturer Huh?!?!?? From the manufacturer you get up-to-date pricing and no surprises. It took me about two minutes to find it listed on Relative Workshop's website. Click on "Rigging Price List" for the .pdf; you'll find your item under "Installations/Modifications" about halfway down the right side. $275 for a V3. That's a good start. http://www.relativeworkshop.com/support_rigging.htmlArrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bliston 0 #3 March 21, 2006 $275, if you're rig doesn't have velcro sewn over the right side of the yolk, call them. BenMass Defiance 4-wayFS website sticks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiler 0 #4 March 21, 2006 Got a rubbish computer that wouldn't open anything, and am in the UK so didn't want to call the States as expensive - so was comparing getting a reply to an e mail from RWS to getting a reply to a post on here! Sorry! Did try their website but couldn't open the pdf. Thanks for finding the figure for me.www.wingin-it.co.uk Wingin' It wingsuit school Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klingeme 0 #5 March 21, 2006 The current prices for the Skyook modification to any Vector 3 is $195 if the rig currently has an RSL, and $295 if the RSL needs to be added to the rig. If you have any questions, give me a call. Mark Klingelhoefer Spare Parts Sales Relative Workshop 386-736-7589 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azureriders 0 #6 March 22, 2006 You may be very suprised at the reply time of an email to RWS with a rigging question. I have got answers in as little as 30 minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #7 March 22, 2006 I'd still like to know what Bill and RWS are doing about allowing Riggers out side of the USA to retrofit the Skyhook 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klingeme 0 #8 March 22, 2006 We currently have 4 locations for Sport Skyhook Retrofits. Two of these are outside of the USA. They can be done are Relative Workshop in Florida, Paraconcepts in Chicago, Fallschirmdepot in Germany, and Air Paradive in Israel. Parachutes Australia can do the modifications on Sigma's but not sport rigs. We are working on getting more authorized centers around the world, but as of right now these are the only locations where the modification is available.

chutingstar 1 #14 March 27, 2006 QuoteI've just spoke to Pablo in our rigging loft and Mike has been approved for skyhook modifications. I apologize for leaving him off the list. Mark Klingelhoefer No need to apologize...was just adding to the conversation on Skyhooks. I'm sure it was just an oversight. My original intent when spending a week with Pablo at RWS was to get trained up for doing retrofits on several older Sigmas at Atlanta Skydiving Center. I ended up getting certified for all Skyhook retrofits for Sigmas and Vector 3s while I was there. I need to go back sometime this year and spend another week at the RWS loft...lots of good info/training for other repairs, mods and such. As for the cost to those who want Skyhook retrofits, we just follow RWS pricing as quoted above. Sometimes turnaround times can be a little faster at the approved lofts if the RWS loft is backed up...but that's the only advantage besides saving on shipping costs for local skydivers.
