Arkona 0 #1 April 26, 2008 Hi, I am new in skydiving and I have millions of questions. One of them is: I have just bought a 1pin Wings container and I got a second-hand 2pin Cypres2. Can I put Cypres2 into my container? I'd appreciate any advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites diablopilot 2 #2 April 26, 2008 Yes. There have been some cases of people simply stowing away the second cutter, but that's really not a "correct installation. Since it's got a field replaceable cutter, you could order a new single head cutter from SSK(USA) or Airtec, or check with either and see if they will still do the swap for free if you send the unit in.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

You will need to buy a new 1 pin cutter to replace the 2-pin cutter for the cypres2."Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Arkona 0 #4 April 26, 2008 So, if I understand well, I can keep my Cypres2 and just buy a part of it to change it into a 1-Pin AAD, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites EirAnne 0 #5 April 26, 2008 This happened recently when I was doing a reserve repack. the owner had purchased used equipment and had no idea that the Cypres was a 2 pin model. A call to SSK revealed that there was no real issue, however, the individual container manufacturer must authorize the use of the 2 pin in the container, as it was TSO'd for a 1 pin. They suggested altering to a one pin at the next opportunity and marking the reserve card as authorized by manufacturer and date.

Through the plug-and-socket cutter connection a swop from 1-pin cutter to 2-pin cutter or vice versa can be simply done by pluging-out and pluging-in without opening the unit and without use of any tools."Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Arkona 0 #7 April 26, 2008 Fantastic!!!

No AAD has ever had a TSO. The Sentinel at one time had a PMA certificate; that's close as any AAD ever came to being 'certificated' by the FAA.
