    I think calling them "cutters" is stretching the truth a bit. They cut... just not all the way. Maybe we can get a infomercial... it fires, it cuts, and look... the loop STILL holds!

    I would, but I think if they resolve the cutter issue and start trading cutters in, they'll be a little less likely to take a fired one. Just pulled mine out of the rig. Oh well!

    You can get a couple rigs for that price, and still have enough for a 50 block of jumps at z-hills. Even some beer money "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

    Just spoke with Altico, they're in the process of issuing the ban of the Argus AAD in their rigs as well. SB should be posted soon.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the service bulletins I have seen indicate the AAD 'should' be removed prior to the next jump. Nothing I have seen indicates it 'must' be or that it is mandatory that it is immediately removed. Isn't it technically legal to use the AAD until the next repack of the reserve where it would be illegal to pack it? The way I read and interpret it, jumping the rig with it installed is in violation of the manufacturers recommendations. You MIGHT be able to fight it, but I don't want MY ass on the FAA's block.

    Looking at the manuals (and since Mike covered the Argus): Vigil2 says: Cut Err: If the «Cut Err» message appears, the cutter unit must be replaced (see § 7.2). A new cutter will be supplied free of charge if a completed “Life Saving Report” is posted and approved (see our website http://www.vigil.aero/ on the download page). Cypres2: 1111 or 2222: One or both of the attached release units are not correctly electrically connected to the unit. The reason may be a cable break, the cutter plug could be disconnected, or the release unit(s) may have activated.

    No, we (as riggers) are not allowed to go against the manufacturers recommendations. If Mirage wanted to say that you can only use Vigils with a DOM of 2010 or later, thats the rule. Individual jumpers, well... they might be able to get away with it, but someone somewhere is going to get screwed because of it. The DZO cannot let you jump (what is now considered by the manufacturer) unairworthy gear, the pilot can get in some serious trouble as well. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the DZ's have riggers out checking gear this weekend, to make sure that none of the now illegal configurations are being used. ETA: Yes, the H/C mfg has final say on combinations of gear. Even down to the canopies used.

    The SIM glossary states: Distinguishing it as something between freefall and deployment. But... SIM also states So, it could be either way.

    One of the incident reports (cannot remember which) showed a couple diagrams of the cutters. The only difference that I saw was that the cypres cutter had a blade and anvil (think axe and chopping block), whereas the argus cutter had a cylendrical cutter (think hole puncher). There may very well be other differences, but thats the only one I saw. ETA the document posted above is the one I was refering to.

    Did you lurn y'leassons (I believe there were 2 in there)? Tell her you'll be home by sunrise, that way you can get there at 4 am and be early. Don't give her a knife that isn't chained down in the kitchen.

    boobies....

    theonlyski replied to missbrz's topic in The Bonfire

    My boobies have had a complex ever since seeing this pic. They may never come out again. They have become very ashamed and shy now. See what you did Jo? Many shots have been taken from those boobies, and now you've hurt their feelings! I believe Jo should be punished.

    theonlyski replied to missbrz's topic in The Bonfire

    PSSSHHHHHH....I saw her "petting" several pairs. I swear it was just the camera angle! I'd never thumbs-down boobies! Picture is proof. and in this pic my head is in her boobs. how can you say I don't like them now? Easy, that was the before pic, the one I posted was the after.

    I doubt she would allow that nasty pie-ing... Jo (missbrz) knows that I'll retaliate. I'll give her the rope to do the right thing and make it a normal pie. If she tries and makes it worse... well... I know her rigger.
