Scoby 0 #7 February 4, 2003 You managed to get one of the last Hornets. Apparently, it is ending production and PISA is becoming part of the new Aerodyne. My guess is that the new canopies won't be quite so cheap, so you did well. I got my Hornet a month ago and I'm really happy with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #8 February 4, 2003 Hornets are great canopies. We have been renting Hormet 190s to our PFF grads for years now. Several of them bought Hornet 190-170-150 with great results. Too bad PISA is halting Hornet production. We all hope that Aerodyne can build a close aerodynamic copy of the Hornet, too bad they will not copy Hornet prices.

Kirils 1 #10 February 4, 2003 Very nice! I'm ordering another one today from Roy! Your coulors are similar to mine, I have some black in the center and on the slider and stasbilizers. It's a great canopy, but please fly safe my friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #11 February 4, 2003 I bought it from Icarus Skysports in Sth Africa, $890US (The container is a Javelin J1 with similar colours. I had exactly the same colours as you b4 Krilis (purple slider) but I decided to loose the black. I also ordered an RMW Rel Suit in same colours with blackNow its just waiting waiting waiting. edit: the attachment is a pic of my Rel suit colours, should match the canopy and rige very nicely You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

homer 0 #12 February 7, 2003 I was going to get a Sabre2 but decided on a Hornet myself. Just picked it up yesterday from Ralph. I have not jumped one yet could some of you give me a comment on your experiences. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowfaller 0 #13 February 7, 2003 If you got it from Ralph be expecting to have "CALL RALPH" lables on your end cells. My rigger removed mine for $5. I could have done w/ a stitch remover but I didn't want to screw nothing up. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 0 #14 February 10, 2003 yepper I have them as do all his canopies do. I will remove mine as well since he will not pay you to keep them as advertisement. He's is only wasting his money having them put on if you ask me. Most will remove them. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fudd 0 #15 February 10, 2003 What! He sews on advertising on the canopies he sells? I wouldn't like that at all, unless he asked and gave a discount for it....

Slowfaller 0 #16 February 10, 2003 Well he has the labels sewed on by PISA which you can see in the cut sheet that is sent w/ the canopy and no he doesn't ask or give a discount. I saw a picture a long time ago of a "CALL RALPH" label on a sign that read "FOR A GOOD TIME" the label was then put under that so it read "FOR A GOOD TIME CALL RALPH XXX-XXX-XXXX" It was hung over urinals. I thought it was pretty useful way of dealing w/ 'em. Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
