The wait I've heard so much about

Recommended Posts

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..... :S
Is it here yet..? [laught]

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!

I thought PISA made them and shiiped through his Icarus name, I didnt Know that they were a seperate manufacture.
