penelope 0 #6 April 19, 2010 Both CYPRES 1 and CYPRES 2 are safe within their 12-year lifespan; that's why the lifespan is set at 12 years and not something shorter. This sounds like a good deal and a good way to tide you over while you're in school! :) Find me on Facebook! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beowulf 1 #7 April 19, 2010 You're happy with the price and it's within the manufacturers specified life span. I don't see why it wouldn't be safe! Go for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really get a battery and a service for 125 of them? If this were a US AAD, the maintenance at SSK is 180, and they get 85 for the battery. And then you pay for shipping both ways.

likestojump 3 #9 April 19, 2010 assuming US based : shipping to SSK $160 (not $180) for 4/8 year $85 for battery sales tax (if in Ohio) shipping to you re: http://www.cypres-usa.com/cypres08.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right. Even though I checked the document you link before I wrote the post, I still did it wrong. My bad. The OP said he was in Ireland (I think, but seeing as how I don't seem to be able to remember anything for even a minute or two now, who knows?). That's why I asked what the unit of currency for his numbers was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out if the cypres has received the 4 y inspection. A cypres with 3 years left on it, is worth nothing if it still needs the 4 and 8 y (both) inspections. On the other hand, a cypres with only 1 year left but with the 4 and 8 y inspections done is still good to buy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #13 April 20, 2010 Only one inspection/service will need to be done, even if the first never happened.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is the case, they have changed their policy a few years ago (luckily). It was only ever one service - they just charged you for two! But yes, they have changed the policy, now they will only charge you for one (I've sent in a few 8+ year old ones that hadn't had a 4 year service)."It's amazing what you can learn while you're not talking." - Skydivesg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before settling on the deal, run the s/n past this list from SSK: http://www.cypres-usa.com/missing.htm It is a list of stolen/missing/non-airworthy units.
