Need Opinions on AAD, Time for my replacement
eddietude replied to eddietude's topic in Gear and Rigging
Yeah, they want to sell you a brand new unit for $1500 bucks! As for the misfire issue, I was at Perris this week, and was told the Cypress 2 had ALSO fired in that jet. In fact, the guy in the shop stated he would NOT turn on ANY AAD if he was jumping the jet. Frankly, spending $65 for a jump ticket to jump out of a jet seems stupid to me, so i probably won't be doing it... thus, no problem. -

When the Cypress FIRST came out, there was no mention whatsoever of a "life span" of the unit. In fact, it wasn't until several years had passed, and thousands upon thousands of units sold that suddenly, the manufacturer decided that the unit had a life span. It was a sneaky trick, and screwed a LOT of buyers of the original cypress. As a result, they will NOT get my business EVER again. -

Hi all, I've got a couple of questions. Been jumping off an on for well over a decade, and my recent reserve re-pack we discovered my Cypress is almost at it's 12 year mark. So, I need to get a new AAD, and wanted to get some opinions on the various options. Here's the thing. I bought my Cypress before they announced that they all only had a 12 year life span. Frankly, that sneaky business practice really ticked me off, and I do NOT want to give Cypress my business again because of it if I can help it. So, would anyone like to post their opinions facts/info about all of the available AAD options? Thanks. Eddie
