Cornholio 0 #1 April 3, 2002 I have been looking for a new or slightly used Altimaster and I ran accross an ad on E-Bay for an Altimaster V. Is this guy for real ? I cannot find any info on an Altimaster 5 on their website. To me it looks like an Alti2 with an Alti3 hand mount. What do you think ?I tried sending him e-mail, but I have not heard anything back yet. Ebay ad is here __________________________________________If first you don't succeed....skydiving is not for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,092 #2 April 3, 2002 I had one for about six months when I first started jumping. It broke pretty quickly. It's definitely the cheapest of the Altimaster line.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #3 April 3, 2002 What Bill said. They haven't been available new for a couple of years now. I had one; it wasn't very accurate. It survived 50 tandem landings before I brushed it across the ground on one and it fell to pieces.I wouldn't bother if you have to pay more than about $25 for it...pull & flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
