ecnuob 0 #1 August 26, 2010 I'm sure this has been asked before, but search yielded nothing. 10 year old cypress 1, no previous maintenance, only needs an 8 year checkup and a battery to be airworthy right... in other words you dont get dinged for both the 4 and 8 year when send it in?

I understand that Airtec (or SSK in the USA) will charge you for both the 4 year AND 8 year, just out of principle. They won't want to offer anyone a reason to skip the 4 year. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratostar 5 #3 August 26, 2010 I don't think that is true, but YMMV, I got a used cypres 1 that had been in a major injured jumpers rig and sat in the closet from it's 3rd birthday till a month before the 8yr cycle was due, I was only charged for the 8yr and new batt. FWIW- Cliff Schmucker and most the employees of SSK knew the injured person and they also sold the unit to him, so it was easy to know the truth on the life of the unit and where and when I got it.

Now it seems that they only charge for the 8 y inspection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEREJumper 1 #5 August 26, 2010 They will only charge you for the 8 year check, I've done this a few times recently. It cost me $251.00 shipped to me + whatever shipping to them.We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sere is absolutely right. I just got one back and then sent another off today. I think mine was $256. My shipping must have been a couple bucks higher. I left sport for a while and now that I'm back, I missed the 4yr and 8 yr. RyderTake chances, just do it with all the information to make good decisions!!
