tobi778 0 #1 July 22, 2003 Hi everyone! Me and my buddy tested two rigs yesterday (our own), mine passed but my buddies did not. We both have Wings rigs that are fairly new. Mine was manufactured 12/2002 and the rig that failed is a bit newer. As the pin on my friends rig bent we removed the ripcord from the rig and will send it back. I noted the markings on the handle were 71304-03-01. Does this tell anything about manufacturing date? January 2003? March 2001? Or am I just speculating? The pin stood up to the test in one direction but as it was rotated once it bent under a surprisingly low force. I'm glad we tested it, better if it fails on the ground than in the air! Be safe Toby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
falxori 0 #2 July 22, 2003 mine says 10-01 and my rig's DOM is feb 02 so i guess its MM-YY. then again , if its march 01, shouldn't it be "safe" ? O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falxori 0 #4 July 22, 2003 i'll get mine tested anyway, better bend it on the ground and wait a few weeks (?) for a replacement than to find myslef at 1000 ft hoping that the cypress will save my butt...
