If you know what I'm on about some input would be appreciated as to there legality, purpose and pros/cons. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #3 July 13, 2006 To be honest I dont know. I've bought a used Cypres to go in my first rig. Being a little bit uneducated when it comes to most skydiving equipment I handed it all to my rigger for assembly and a reserve pack. Got phone call today... "who did you buy it off and can I contact them. It has an anti-spike component fitted that I have heard about but never seen and I dont think its standard. Anyway. Ill pack your rig but I'm not going to fit the Cypres until I've spoken with Air-Tec" He didnt say a sleevs but a component installed in the arming cable/wire? Does that make sense. I notced a black plastic soupling about an inch in length but just assumed that was a standard joint to allow removal of wire. Its a Cypres 1 by the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reginald 0 #4 July 13, 2006 Quote..."until I've spoken with Air-Tec" This is the key. If you rigger has any questions about it he should call Air-Tec and discuss it with them."We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoop 0 #5 July 13, 2006 Yeah, just wondered if anyone had any knowledge of either an after market product, a product recall and adaption or whether it was normal.

The sleeve was a field installed fix to improve static/EM resistance, and every unit got the more permanent fix when serviced.
