Skystorm 0 #27 February 9, 2002 lazerq2,Congrats!!! Mine is on it's way as well!!!Just wondering if you did some shopping around? Manny's from Icarus, right?There's also Chute Shop (where my gear is coming from, cheaper than Icarus) where you could talk to Mari. (e-mail : chute@mweb.co.za)And then there's PISA (they are the manufacturer of the Hornet) where you could talk to Dave. (e-mail : pisakzn@icon.co.za)Mmmaaaannnnn, I hate waiting..... Is it here yet..? [laught]Hang onto Heaven, when hell is on your back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #28 February 9, 2002 SKystorm,So wait a minute, if manny is from icarus and is making my hornet, and PISA is the maker of the hornet, is this still the same chute just made by a diff company in SA?And I did do some shopping state side but not in SA!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm 0 #29 February 9, 2002 PISA is the Manufacturer, Icarus buys it from Pisa and sells it to you for a few dollars more. I recommend you contact Pisa. They qouted me on a Hornet 170 SA Rand 5250-00, if I'm correct it should be around $500-00, but I'm not sure about the exchange rate. I think it's 12:1(?)Just as an example: Pisa is also the manufacturer of the Heatwave.Icarus quoted me R6500-00 (app. $550) and Pisa quoted R5700-00 (app. $470). That's almost a R1000-00 difference.I almost made the same mistake. Would've paid a R3000-00 (app. $250) too much.Try and contact them, they are really helpfull and friendly! Good luck!Hang onto Heaven, when hell is on your back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #30 February 9, 2002 Well its probably a little late to cancell the order seing how I,ve received an e-mail a few days ago saying that the order was processed and underway!! I thought PISA made them and shiiped through his Icarus name, I didnt Know that they were a seperate manufacture. Man its bad enough all the thing s you have to learn to jump outa a plane let alone all the thing to learn when buying a canopy !!!!! Thanks for the info though ....things to think about next itme around!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skystorm 0 #33 February 9, 2002 They require a 50% deposit right away (when the order is placed). Then I expect the rest when they ship it to you.Hang onto Heaven, when hell is on your back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
