For those who don't like DIY - Square One glove ~ Lara ps - hi Steve

Hi Chris! L&B support is fantastic, no matter where in the world you are. Their reputation and quality of service makes us reach higher, I hope we can do the same for them. It's fun to compete with a company that's so easy to respect. On that note, I regret using a thread about their product to talk about Neptune but I do want to reply to your post - chalk it up to an early morning mistake, getting involved here in the first place! There will always be an upcoming revision to the Neptune. The sport grows so quickly that we'll always have new ideas and features, not to mention new technologies that allow us to do more. To be less vague, we do have some specific things cooking at the moment, but to stay vague, I'll leave it at that. I understand about price concerns - have you looked for a used Neptune? It would be nice to lower prices, but they've actually stayed at the promotional introductory price since they were introduced 3 years ago. Contrary to popular opinion, we don't get boards for 10 cents from China or Taiwan, and everything is hand built in our factory in Florida. I'm not getting sucked into a debate about global economics, so don't anyone try. If we can lower costs, we definitely will, but as far as I know, the price will be the same for the time being. Any other questions, please feel free to call, e-mail or IM me - or start a new thread! ~ Lara ps - for a list of all software revisions, check out the version history

The Neptune also has the ability to change/add/remove/enhance features with a free software update. Right *now* the Neptune has fixed altitude alarms and quiet canopy alarm volume, but who knows what the future holds? ~ Lara ps - Oops, I didn't mean to hijack this thread, just saw the Neptune question and had to reply! The rusty old brain doesn't work well before noon

No way - you too?!? The people at the drive-thru were not so friendly to me, they just pulled up to get their order and drove off! I did go back later that night and get a free meal, though. The store manager thought I was going to sue them - I still am not quite sure for what. The funny (or stupidly, incredibly lucky) thing is that I had taken Scott Miller's canopy course the week before. If it wasn't for that, I would have really been in some serious pain. After that, I wanted to make bracelets that said "WWSMD" - what would Scott Miller do - because that's what ran through my head from the minute I knew I would not make it back to the DZ. My whuffo friends & family have not gotten tired of McDonald's drive-thru jokes, even two years later

Wow, that's quite a move for the world's best tunnel flyer! Not to mention the world's best tracker / sit flyer / canopy pilot / international drunk dialer! Oh, and the world's best raider of closed bars from which to get banned. Have I forgotten any of the other world's best titles??

Not rigs, but we have a stolen/lost/found Altimaster list: link Some owners are even offering rewards. ~Lara

Hi Scoop! If this is the case, I wouldn't personally go with an altimeter that displays 0-15k linearly. Check out the region under 1000' - it's pretty small on any model like that (and most analogs, for that matter - that's why people were recommending a digital). Just want to make sure you understand what you're asking for ~ Lara

J - thank YOU!!!! SkyFest was amazing as always. Thank you for giving us such a great opportunity. It's also a lot of fun to just be there, but shh, don't tell my bosses that! It was great seeing everyone again - Dave, congrats on your award, you'll make a damn good AFFI. Thanks to you and everyone else for the sunset (?!) hop & pop, too

Hi Sam, you found us! You can send in your altimeter any time for a checkup and re-calibration if necessary. details Just make sure to include your name, mailing address, and contact information INSIDE the package if you decide to send it. Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many packages we get with no note, no address, just a happy little orphaned altimeter. You should also register your new Galaxy: register. Please call (+1 386 943 9333) or e-mail us if you have any questions. ~Lara ps - mods, I hope this isn't considered advertising! edit as needed

Plus, it's Justin's birthday today, so think of it as giving him presents! Happy birthday Jetson ~Lara

What, you mean no one else measures time by lamb? I'm just thinking outside the box, following the path less taken, and keeping it real. And Denise, you totally kicked ass! That's not just some girl-power thing, it's true - anyone who gets right back on the horse after being tossed off kicks a little, in my book. ~Lara

Sorry for the delay with the scores, guys, that's my fault...but they'll be up in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Thanks everyone for a fun meet - congrats to everyone! ~Lara PS - Denise kicked ass!!

The only thing to check is that the software version is up to date. Sometimes product sits on dealer's shelves after we've released an update. Other than that, you'll be fine! ~ Lara

Wow, in the time it took me to post my sorry ass reply, two awesome field reps have already said it better than I could! So the moral of the story is, don't ask a Neptune question without really really really wanting to get showered with help

It sounds like a low battery - update your software and get a new battery in there.
