    TEST

    Curious about how the word will get out that the forums are back. I posted in the Skydiving Reddit and a group on FB but pretty much no activity in the forums other than on the DB Copper thread
  2. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
  3. The "This Site is For Sale" banner has disappeared.
  4. a link to an STC, probably not the right one.. https://www.sealandaviation.com/sites/default/files/SkyDive-Step-and-Door-Issue-2.pdf
  5. If you use an Apple iPhone the answer is easy... their Air Tags. If you use android, stay away from Samsung Smarttags... they only work with Samsung phones. I made the mistake, but won't again. Rather look for tags that work with Google Find which works on all Android phones including Samsung. By example... https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/google-android-airtag-tracker-b2526969.html
  6. What are the differences between your two products?
  7. I'd be much more concerned if I was looking at evidence of improperly cut closing loops. I've seen none in this thread and heard of none in the sport.
  8. This says your dealer can accept your trade in and you get $ towards your new one https://www.cypres.aero/services/trade-in/
  9.

  10. https://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=01482851-cf57-4dcc-a3d6-25f3523e0daf "Parachute Company Was Formerly Known as Aviation Safety Resources. Pioneer Aerospace Corporation, d.b.a. ASR-Pioneer, has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is seeking to sell the company under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parachute manufacturer is a collection of companies, including Pioneer and Strong Parachutes," They have already sold off one of the pieces, Pioneer maker of recovery parachutes used by various space programs, was sold to SpaceX for $2.2 million. I've not seen any information specific to Strong Parachutes.
