Has anyone heard how many hoops a pompous master rigger has to jump through to get MPAAD's blessing to sew AADs into an old rig?

There are pictures of MPAAD ready rig in thread Cypres II.

the following is the reply I got from MARS when I enquired about the MPAAD.

Dear John,

my name is Zbynek and testing and custom service relevant to the MPAAD
is my
responsibility, so I will deal with all your questions in the future.

Thank you very much for your interest in our new product - MPAAD.
Please, let me explain the near future plans of our new AAD to you.
Firstly, our patent representatives and lawyers are working on the
global
retrievals and patents. Unfortunately, those proceedings are very
protracted, so it will take more time than we expected. It is the
reason,
why we can not release our device to the world market presently. The
reason
for all this verification is information from Airtech, that we cann´t
sale
our product at the US market until their patent is valid.
At this moment, we had completed all the most important tests and the
device
is working perfectly. Nevertheless, we have to do more test jumps to
obtain
other major data for statistics. We also want to try out a safety of
the
MPAAD with substandard skydiving equipment, e.g. birdman suit. The
biggest
disadvantage is the weather in Czech Republic, which do not allow us to
do
as many jumps as we need. For this reason, we have a few units in Spain
and
we will have more information after April 15, 2003.
Fully functional version of MPAAD we can provide during May or June.
Finally, we would like to thank you once more for your interest in our
device. Unfortunately, we can not provide you with more information at
this
moment, but we are open to any suggestions.
Do you have our MPAAD information leaflet from PIA Symposium? If not,
we´ll
send you more operation data of the device.

With best regards,

Zbynek Zivny, MarS a.s.

Hope that helps,

-Blind
