Jerry Most major manufacturers have license applications. I will let each of them announce when the Skyhook will be available on their respective rigs.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 May 16, 2007 QuoteAny idea how much $$ will be this modification? More than $100? More than $200? You are not going to get Sunpath to retrofit an older Javelin with a Skyhook. It's a new-rig-only option as far as I was told. I would very-seriously doubt that you are going to be able to retrofit a Wings after Henri gets his system approved by UPT either. According to Dave Ruffel at Sunshine Factory, though, the fact that the Skyhook is available on more than one rig has definitely swayed some people towards them.

JerryBaumchen 1,446 #13 May 16, 2007 Hi Rob, I was talking to John about his Lariat system and he seemed to indicate it was a dead issue. Take this as rumor only, Jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,446 #15 May 17, 2007 Hi yeyo, I have 'heard' that a Mirage might possibly be able to be retro-fitted with a SkyHook. Contact Gus at Rigging Solutions and see what he might have to say. Jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contact Gus at Rigging Solutions and see what he might have to say. Jerry I would think that it is not an issue of what can be done. Perhaps it is an issue of being such a time consuming, expensive pain in the ass thing to do that likely nobody would want it done at that price.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,446 #18 May 18, 2007 Hi sundevil, At the PIA in Reno someone asked Derek Thomas how much to retro-fit a SkyHook to an existing Jav and he said "$2298. Send us your rig and we'll send you back a rig with a SkyHook.' Jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
