CanuckInUSA 0 #1 April 11, 2008 Can someone refresh my memory here. Is the Cypres2 on 4 year cycles for replacing the batteries? Also does anyone know the turn around time for getting new batteries?

Also does anyone know the turn around time for getting new batteries? The battery change is part of the 4-year check done by them, not by the riggers in the field. I just sent in a CYPRES 2 a few days ago. I'll let you know how long it takes."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

skybeergodd 0 #7 April 11, 2008 I just got a customers Cypres 2 back and it was 3 weeks. So they are getting them turned around pretty quickly right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, but if you swoop over 78mph with an expert Cypres you may not live through it. http://www.cypres2.com/userguide/CYPRES_2_users_guide_english.pdfBASE 1224, Senior Parachute Rigger, CPL ASEL IA, AGI, IGI USPA Coach & UPT Tandem Instructor, PRO, Altimaster Field Support Representative Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,426 #12 April 14, 2008 >No, but if you swoop over 78mph with an expert Cypres you may not live through it. Not quite correct. You could hit 150mph in your swoop and the Cypres wouldn't fire. If you _vertical_ component exceeds 78mph, though, you can see the cypres fire.

Also does anyone know the turn around time for getting new batteries? Just an FYI on CYPRES 2 4-year-service turnaround time: According to UPS tracking, SSK received mine on 11 April. Today I received an email from UPS that SSK has just provided them with shipping info for it's return. So that is a 20-day turnaround, (not including transit time to/from SSK)."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
