DougH 270 #3 March 14, 2007 There was another thread about this. No word yet about a retrofit, but I wouldn't get your hopes up."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #4 March 14, 2007 I also heard that Javelin is offering this on their rigs. Will the Skyhook be mandatory?"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #6 March 14, 2007 SunPath is offering the Skyhook as an option. It is not available as a retrofit on sport rigs due to the difficulty of installing the Collins Lanyard channel. Right now SunPath is the only non-UPT manufacturer that has licensed, tested, and received FAA approval for the Skyhook in their rigs. Aerodyne has licensed, but at this time testing is not complete (my best information).Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
