  1. Is there a way to clear the data from a CYPRES2's previous owner? I would like to start logging my own data.
  2. Hey all....what would a fair price be for a deployment sleeve in really nice condition for a 28' Jumbo PC? Thanks in advance! Larry D2238
  3. I have a shorty sleeve for the Jumbo as designed for it. As far as a reserve, I have a strong 26' lopo in a SLCP MIRPS. I am all set except for a harness for the B12 container. Push come to shove, I will direct-bag it out of my MC-1 h & c, but I definitely want to free-fall it. We have a Skyvan coming to Dunnellon, FL in October and I would like to get it jump-ready by then.
  4. I am in need of a B4 / B12 harness in airworthy condition. I have a new-to-me Jumbo PC and I need a rig to jump it. I have extended a B12 container but I am in need of a harness for it. Unless someone can suggest an alternate harness/container system for the Jumbo? Thanks in advance! Larry D2238
  5. Bill....PM sent in reply.
  6. Poynter's manual covers this a little bit...part numbers, components and packing.
  7. Hi all, I am in need of a deployment sleeve for a 28' round canopy. Even a non-airworthy sleeve will suffice as I can use it for a pattern. (And please, let's not get into discussions of my sanity). If you have a sleeve, please let me know - airworthy, non-airworthy or a pattern. Thanks! Larry D2238
  8. Into my 6th decade here: 1960's through to the present. I will confess to slowing down a bit...with age comes wisdom, I guess! Almost forgot....that makes two different centuries, also. (Damn...I'm old)
  9. Mostly T10D Not so. We use all steerable mains: MC1-1C/D, SET-10's and SF-10A's exclusively. NO T10's. The FAA frowns on non-steerables jumping into crowded airshows. And, by the way, I have never seen a military chest reserve without a pilot chute of one type or another. As far as I know, they have always had them...right from the start back in the '40's.
  10. Not to hijack this thread but.....has anyone had any experience with a Singer 401A? Pros? Cons? Not looking to use as a harness machine, just the occasional heavier-than-normal material.
  11. E-mail sent with two mods for MC4 CYPRESS installation.
  12. I have two different mods for installing a CYPRES. Both require a bit of work on the container. Let me know if interested.
  13. Best safety device? It is that 6" gob of electro-chemical goo between your ears.
  14. Contact Bob Mathews directly at [email protected] and ask him.
