bmcd308 0 #1 March 14, 2002 Who has PISA Hornets in stock in the US? Do they have a demo program? I remember that someone on this board was ordering one direct in February. Did it ever come? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MiataDRM 0 #6 March 15, 2002 Roy from Rigs & Things has the best price for the Hornet ($910 I think). Also, check out Skykat.com & look at their used section. They usually have hornet 190/70/50's used for sale. I got mine (170) for 675, and it rocks!**I'm a Pschydiver!Majdi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmcd308 0 #8 March 15, 2002 Have you actually done this? How did you go about doing it and how long did it take? I went to the oft-mentioned icarus site and asked for info, but I got no reply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazerq3 0 #10 March 15, 2002 Yeah...If you look at there site they dont list the prices any more. You have to email or call........I think there economy is going back u a little too plus it depends on the size of the canopy . I know when I ordered my 150 it was 563$ and for a 170 was like 600$ something!!! Still a great price for new custom canopy!! Hopefully should be here in the next week or so!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazerq3 0 #12 March 15, 2002 I was told it was going to be 85$ !!!! When they ship it I'll let you know exactly what it was!! jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #13 March 16, 2002 I was quoted $575. with ($70. shipping to the states) about three weeks ago when I ordered my Hornet. I hope they stick with this price. Is there any other charges that you know of, Jason? I'm getting anxious to get it and get some jumps on it. I had a hard time getting my order in. Communications aren't that great between here and South Africa. What a bargain though! Vortex containers with hip rings are about $750. Ask for Manny.

lazerq3 0 #14 March 16, 2002 Hey steve,.....No I was jsut told the 85$ ......but hell even if there is a possible 3% import fee thats still nothing compared to what you could be paying. I was told my canopy will be ready in 5 weeks and on the 19th it will be 5 weeks, so I'm hoping it will be on its way. As for getting in contact with them all my emails have all gotten reponded by manny himself. Also I called over there a couple of times in the beginning to make sure everything went through OK. Its an expensive call but at least you get the answeres to your questions right then and there!!! jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
