Aviatrr 0 #3 October 14, 2003 Well....I was standing a couple feet away from a rig sitting all by itself on a picnic table when we heard a POP and the reserve PC went flying by. Nobody around was using any kind of cell phone or radio, and the Cypres did have the RF shielding. That was a few years ago...never found out what the official response from Airtec was, but they sent the guy a new Cypres. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #9 October 14, 2003 Not recently. I don't think there's been any reports of misfires since the modifications were done to eliminate the need for the electro-magnetic sheidling. I don't remember any in the last 3 years. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 #11 October 14, 2003 QuoteI don't remember any in the last 3 years. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that someone had a Cypres fire at around 4K? I'm too lazy search, but the story is here and got quite a bit of attention. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

The problem is fixed now, aud the vigil is authorized again.@+ en l'air et bon saut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
