masterrig 1 #2 May 28, 2004 Hey, diablo! You might try calling J. Mike at American Skydiving Systems (1-800-769-6064. He might be able to help you. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I've been trying to contact them by email myself, but no luck.. I need a new dial for my FT-50, so let me know if you reach them. BTW, found this on www.ground-rush.com: Eureka BSD - Makers of the FT50 Address: Les hurtevents - BP9 81170 Les Cabannes, France tel: (011) (33) 563-56-12-57 eureka.para@libertysurf.fr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy 1 #5 May 29, 2004 There is address and email info on the box. Can't find mine anymore, of course... Didn't see that Helge already posted the details... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #6 May 29, 2004 It was a thought. I've ordered several FT-50's from him (for customers) and thought he might be able to point you in the right direction. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raistlin 0 #8 May 31, 2004 Isn't FT50 a french altimeter, and isn't it metric (or do they come in varieties)? They seem to be fragile tho. One broke right on me in freefall, got stuck at 8k.. and I saw/heard of other occurences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koz2000 1 #9 May 31, 2004 They come in feet and metric units. I'm trying to get one sent back as well for a customer and have had no luck contacting them. JP, would you let us all know if and when you finally contact them and tell us how. Thx______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

df8m1 24 #10 May 31, 2004 Parachute Equipment Corporation at one time was the only designated repair center in the U.S for FT-50 altimeters. I did a web search to confirm my memory and found that the listing still mentioned repairs however the website did not. You might give them a call to see if they still repair them.

I always thought the air is just the same in metric and feet -countries When you need to dump, do it!

It's been dropped on concrete floors and other places way too many times, and hasn't stopped working.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
