jhilden 0 #1 June 10, 2006 Hi all, I'm thinking about purchasing my first rig this summer and I was curious what the annual cost of ownership is once I have a rig. Between reserve repacks, AAD maintenance and everything thing else how much should I expect to spend maintaining the rig assuming I make 50-150 jumps per year? Thanks everyone, Cheers.

mjosparky 3 #2 June 10, 2006 There are way to many variables to speculate. If you plan to continue jumping, buy a rig and jump.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbattman 0 #4 June 11, 2006 Hey, if you wanna play you've gotta pay! 3 repacks a year, batts every two years (35/year), 4 year maint (~250/4). If you account for wear on the main, lineset replacements, smashing an altimeter on someone's helmet, etc. etc. a moderately active skydiver (150/year) would probably be looking at $3-4 a jump on gear.

You need that every two years for a Cypress 1 and four years for a Cypress 2 or Vigil. The four year check for a Cypress is ~$185. Other than that, keep it from getting damaged and you won't have any additional expenses. Good luckSkydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
