Cracked/Leaking Cypres Display

Recommended Posts

On friday after a jump I found my cypres display cracked/leaking black stuff around the screen:( I went through the video of the jump and nothing even came close to hitting my rig... I jump a Javelin and it's very well protected against my back so I have no idea how it broke, or whether its just leaking...

Does anyone have experience with getting a new display? Turn around times etc? I live in Australia and what makes it worse it that I just got it back from a 4 year service a month ago. And my DZ is a compulsory AAD one. So I have to get a hire one while it travels to Germany.(I think)

Anyhow...thats my cry for the day. Im going to have a beer.

Was it left in direct sun (the rig) or in a car trunk at all on hot days? Wondering if it could have cooked.

Though there is no noticeable crack, my cypress unit has a small amount of black “bleeding” on the display. Once discovered it seamed to be working fine, my rigger could find nothing wrong with it, and it has since been sent out for the eight year check up and came back with an A+ bill of health. One note to make - the black “bleeding” has been the exact same shape and has not increased in size etc. since its discovery.

For what it’s worth.

Nope, my baby stays in a cool cupboard and only goes into the car for the trip to the DZ.

And the display is totally unusable. I looked at it very closely and there seems to be a crack coming from the side...but I have no idea how anything could have impacted there, or whether it was abused in a previous life and just needed something to trigger it?

But back to my real question, anyone have experience with turn around times, and cost?

when you put your pilot chute into it's pouch, do you turn the container upside down and beat on the bottom? That might damage the cypres.



Quite right, for those with the display in the yoke. The backpad location is vulnerable in other ways. I often see rigs abused in ways that would be tough for either location.
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
