MarS M2 AAD

Recommended Posts

Check with TSE and your regulatory/rigging community to see if they are allowed in your Tear Drop.

Last I knew no US manufacturer had approved them for use in their rigs in their manuals. US riggers have to follow the manufacturers manuals and so if they say only approved (by the manufacturer) AAD's can be used that's what we have to follow.

Got this off Chuting Star

"In the U.S., the m2 currently has approvals for use in the following rigs: Javelin, Vector, Wings, Icon, Infinity, Basik 7 and Mirage. But other approvals may already be completed as well. Contact your rig manufacturer for more information."
You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

why not just roll with the trusted cyprus?



Because the M2 is cheaper by almost half -- it's $999. Now, that's not a good enough reason for me (or, I'm guessing by your post, for you), but that's the reason people are giving the M2 a hard look.

Because I'm not sure how an island nation in the Mediterranean will help me if I'm unable to deploy. :|
