Talon Squeaking Noise

[highlee369 0]

I'm trying on a talon fs to see if I want to buy it. When all the straps are secure, there is a squeaking noise when I move around that comes from the harness and what I think is where it connects to the (hip/chest) rings. I know of another person with a another talon and I heard the same unusually loud squeaking noise when he moves around in the harness.

Anyone know about this?
Causes?
Solutions?

Thanks.

Both of my Infinities had that problem, a few drops from a can of rig oil took care of things.

So its the sound of the harness rubbing against the rings?

Same on my Infinity. What oil is it? Is it safe???

A friend of mine that has a Mirage has the same problem. Where to apply it and what type?

...only after they get back here with my bucket of prop wash and the 50' of flight line I sent 'em to fetch!

Well if you're gonna be putting rig oil on it you might as well add on canopy lights and riser grease to keep the rest of the system working properly.

You still grease your risers? I installed sealed riser bearings, get with the new tech man!

Make sure you have the nylon ones, I had the 1st generation steel ones and they rusted...

All jokes aside, anyone else got more information about this noise, and possible solutions?

Jump. You won't hear the squeak over the wind noise.

Perhaps your rigger's loft is infested with mice. Is he missing one?

Truth is the distilled meaning of facts, for any truth refuted by a fact becomes a fallacy.

I bought a '94 Talon that was a closet queen for a bunch of years. The harness was a bit stiff and it squeaked at the hip rings. After putting about 50 jumps on it, the squeaking stopped.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.
