I bought a Viplo FT50 last year. It appeared to work fine for the 4 jumps I made at the end of 2010. Jumped it again in February this year and the needle stuck at 9,000ft. On reaching the ground it had dropped to 7,000ft and by the time I had walked back to the packing shed it still showed me at 3,000ft. Passed the alti to the pilot who took it up and confirmed it was busted. This is a major problem in itself, as you can imagine, so I emailed Viplo and wrote to them in France a number of times but they have failed to reply. Bought a Galaxy instead and no problems (so far). Mate bought a Viplo a couple of years back and the face fell off in mid-air. Viplo did fix it for him tho!
