It's there in the thread: "Let me get you guys straight on this subject. NZ Aerosports in NZ (read Jyro here) started Icarus Canopies as a world wide company that would lease his designs out to other well known and already established parachute manufacturers. One in the USA (Precision Aerodynamics) and the other one in Spain (CIMSA). Precision Aerodynamics stopped producing Icarus Canopies in 2001. CIMSA had their agreement pulled about two years ago by Jyro. This was after they started re-designing Jyro's canopies and making their own designs and changes, but still using the Icarus logo/name brand. So CIMSA (Spain) has come up with the Icarus World thing with Bill Legard. Basically Bill is going to warehouse ready built stock here in the USA and offer service for their canopies. Fernando (who owns CIMSA) also owns BRS emergency parachutes that is located in Pinehurst, NC IIRC.This location will be a service center of sorts as I was told. So to clarify, NZ Aerosports is the mother company that owns both Icarus Canopies and Dadielus Project. They are both located in Auckland, NZ and have nothing to do with Icarus World. CIMSA (Icarus World) used to build Icarus Canopies under a License agreement, but no more and has come up with the Icarus World company to sell their canopies. Clear as mud..right? Cheers, MEL"

I'm thinking about buying it. Which helmet are you using? Could you hear it loud enough with the standard profiles?

I recommend Xielo. I was there last year and loved it. I'm going back the first week of November. Some of the TI's worked in the US so they should know basic English. They have a Caravan but it's not as fast as the ones I'm used to jumping here in the US. It takes about 20 minutes to 14k. Ana and Nico, the owners, are super awesome. They are also great fliers. It is a long drive from Medellin but they do offer rooms or beds for rent if you want to spend the night. DM me if you want to ask me more about them.

Like if I'm doing angles or even wingsuit jumps, I'd like to vocally hear the altitude every 1000 ft. If you can also make it to vocally say the glide ratio, that would be helpful too. Maybe give the user the option on which one they want to hear or even hear both? The glide ratio could also be helpful during canopy if you are trying to get back from a long spot. Could a screen button option to switch between altitude and glide ratio vocal warnings be added? I wouldnt make this change under freefall but it would be nice if I could change it to glide ratio while under canopy if I end up being too far.

I'd say every 1000 ft so that it could also be used on non-wingsuit jumps.

It would be nice if it could speak the altitudes via bluetooth to an earbud. Similar to a VOG, like every 500/1000 ft.

Is anyone able to modify this code to announce altitudes every 500 or every 1k feet?

How did you record the conversations?

My buddies and I jump with Cardo intercoms. If works fine and it auto reconnects if people get too far. I prefer using in ear headphones over the speakers that it comes with. This is the one I have: Cardo PACKTALK Bold - Best Motorcycle Communication System (cardosystems.com)

Here's a few pics lol. I don't believe anyone is jumping that.

I'm using a magnetic slider keeper with my Vector (AAD is located on top of the rig behind the reserve flap) and I was wondering if the magnets could mess with the functionality of the AAD. Anybody knows? Thanks

Any news on if it will be available for Android?

Would it be available for Android?

I heard on a Podcast that AON2 is developing a newer audible altimeter with bluetooth capabilities. This was you can set up the altitudes with your phone and no need to carry an extra cable. I have the Pebbles and really like it but since it's so cheap it doesnt hurt to have it as an extra once the new one comes out.
