cbuffalino 0 #1 June 28, 2012 For what reason would a rigger opt to send back a container to the factory to install an RSL? Container is a Vector Micron v310. To my knowledge no RSL had been previously installed on the rig, but the Vector manual has rigging instructions for SkyHook and standard RSL assemblies so there's definitely something I don't understand.Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about.

Also, some riggers will send complicated repairs to the factory as they may not have the skill sets, machinery, or both needed to do the work. Actually, the rigger sounds heads up to me!

Definitely wouldn't question his choices just was wondering if that was normal or not being i'm not experienced in the area.

Hi MEL, My information is that only UPT or UPT authorized service centers are allowed to install Skyhook on non Skyhook ready V3's! Of course my info can be old or wrong....

Blue skies The OP didn't say they were getting a Skyhook installed, just an RSL.I didn't realize that UPT was cranking rigs out without the velcro to mate on the RSL even if the rig was ordered without it."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deyan 36 #7 June 28, 2012 ***The OP didn't say they were getting a Skyhook installed, just an RSL. True . He just mentioned that there's an instruction for the Skyhook and the RSL in the manual.

Skydivesg 7 #8 June 28, 2012 When I sell a Vector I always suggest that the buyer have the rig rsl ready even if they choose not to use it (mainly for resale). Last fall a customer ordered one and did not want the rig rsl ready. If he ever wants to sell it and the new buyer wants to have an rsl then someone will have to pay to have it retrofitted. They are normally standard equipment for no charge.Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
