Cypres model change program?

[PhreeZone 20]

Anyone hear any details on this yet? I see a little ad for it in Parachutist this month but no details. It looks like you can trade a Cypres in for one of a different model for free now. I.E. trade an Expert for a Speed or a Student for a Tandem.

so ya mean I can trade my almost expired Cypress for a new one?

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

AFAIK you could always do that. It just meant sending it in.

It's not a "trade". You can send your cypres II to SSK and have it converted to a different 'model' (speed, tandem, swoop, expert) at no charge.

From http://www.cypres2.com/cypres2faq.htm

"I have a Expert CYPRES 2, can I use it in my new Tandem rig and just do +1150 ft. altitude adjustment?
- sorry, no, this is not safe for a number of reasons - however, you can send us your CYPRES 2 (any model) and we will change it to any other model (including the new colored button and thorough checkout) for no charge!"

Doesn't apply to an original Cypres.

see councilman's post. They just switch the button and switch settings. (Like Argus, Vigil and Mars do in their user menu)

The trouble with skydiving; If you stink at it and continue to jump, you'll die. If you're good at it and continue to jump, you'll see a lot of friends die...

Always... but for that there is a small (~$1200) charge

Always remember that some clouds are harder than others...
