oldrookie 0 #26 March 24, 2011 Ha-ha-ha That's funny I also have an Argus, and paid more for mine.............at least I got 40 odd jumps on it. You have to realize, that sometimes.......the person standing closest to the fan, knows a fraction of a second before everyone else, when the shit is gonna hit. That's life. I'm keeping my Argus, but will replace the unit with a Cypres in my rig. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't send dickheadish PM's then not allow a response. Seriously, everything you post is a wise ass remark that has NO VALUE. For example, look above.

normiss 801 #30 March 24, 2011 Me, I'd go with Vigil. I grew tired (and somewhat poorer) feeding the Cypres. I jump with no AAD. Would seriously consider it for AFFI jumps though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #31 March 24, 2011 We had a jumper at our DZ do the exact same thing just a few days ago ~ paid $750 for a unit two days before this whole thing blew up. He called me and asked it I thought it was a good deal ~ $750 for a 2 year old AAD, SBs checked out, seemed ok... Long story short, he jumps a wings, and last I heard, Wings was not planning on taking any actions at this time, or at least when I talked to them yesterday. I dont' know man ~ I think the Cypres crowd can play the "I told you so" game, but the fact of the matter is it was a reasonable price for a Unit that proved to be terrible timing. If I had a crystal ball, I wouldn't have put a 2-pin argus in my rig either back in 2008.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hchunter614 0 #32 March 24, 2011 Did you call and discuss your concern with him? It couldn't hurt. Just be sure to be civil about it and ask if there's anything he would be willing to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chutingstar 1 #34 March 24, 2011 QuoteI did do my homework, or at least I thought I did. All I found was a recall for cutters on pre 2007 models. The one I bought was a 2009, so I thought I was good to go. I also found a good article by Mike G saying all of them are fine. http://www.chutingstar.com/expertadvice_en/buying-gear/18-aads-which-one-to-buy.html Not blaming anyone, I'm just saying that I looked into it. I'm definitely not perfect...lots of people will tell you that. But we did and continue to provide unbiased advice about as many products as possible, with one being a comparison of AADs. Still, these are in the end my opinions based on my experiences. I've updated the article a bit given the recent events, but keep in mind Aviacom and Mirage have still not touched or tested the rig and/or AAD yet. So conclusions on the issue are still forthcoming. My understanding is that an investigation with the FAA, a DPRE and others begins Monday at Skydive San Marcos, which will result in the gear being turned over to Aviacom and/or Mirage afterward for further investigation and testing. And then after that, we'll have a clearer understanding on the true issue and how it can be resolved. MikeChutingStar.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thedivingdog 0 #36 March 24, 2011 Thanks Mike. I by no means meant to bad mouth you or anything like that. I respect your opinion. I was just pointing out that I did do research on the subject. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
