Kirils 1 #1 May 13, 2002 I need some expert advise!I recently purchased a rig from a girl in England, a 2 pin Tear Drop mfg. date of 1990. I have repeatedly tried to find out if the rig is TSO'd for used here in the States. The manufacturer will not respond to my inquiry. (4 letters) I know the 1 pin Tear Drops are OK, but what about the 2 pin????Can anyone offer me advise?Thanks! Skydiving is not a static excercise with discrete predictability...

SkydiveMonkey 0 #3 May 13, 2002 As far as I know, the earlier TearDrops were not TSO'd. Speak to Chris T and et his advice. Mailing them can be a pain, but call them on +44 (0)1262 678299 When I grow up, I want to be a post whore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billbooth 10 #4 May 14, 2002 If it is TSOed, it must be so marked. No marking, no TSO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #8 May 14, 2002 The only people who can legally jump 2-pin Teardrops in the USA are foreigners (ie. not American citizens). The FAA now allows foreigners to jump gear that is approved/certified in their homelands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
