Vertifly 0 #1 April 15, 2006 Rather than reading the debates that have gone on about the skyhook, I was hoping to get some direct feedback from people with experience with a skyhook. Maybe you've already used one in action, or have a friend who has had an experience with which you are very familiar with, or perhaps you've done some serious research and decided against the system. Whatever...it is probably a good idea to get a running, individual, consensus on the Skyhook system before actually purchasing. Blues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pan 0 #2 April 15, 2006 bought a new rig just to have one. 1st use under a sigma tandem. its a little harder to get to the handles under a tandem. reserve was open before I even got to my reserve handle. 2nd under sport rig. spinning line. again skyhook beat me to reserve pull. only down side on that one had a half twist on my reserve due to being on my back during cut-away. also another up side. the freebag is supposed to stay attached to the main. 50/50 on that one. although the 2nd edition skyhook is supposed to stay attached more often. something like 90% Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #3 April 15, 2006 Do you know if the newer editions are available on different rig types? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna 0 #4 April 15, 2006 I have a friend who's a rigger and had a cutaway with a rig equipped with a skyhook: His letter to relative workshop is about halfway down the page - Brady Kane. I know he has a LOT of faith in the skyhook, especially since his experience. http://www.relativeworkshop.com/myv_index.html (sorry, I don't know how to make a clicky) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
