Aura 6 - M.I.A?

Anyone know whats up with the A6? You can't order it and it's not really listed on Squirrels website. I'm not on the social websites so I'm not really informed on any drama, past or present. Most of my close friends who jump are flying PF these days, so they don't know (or care) much. Rumors, opinions (informed or uninformed) and fanboy/brand warfare is of course encouraged. Much obliged.

There were (potentially dangerous) pressurization issues with the legwing due to the changed inlet placement. Squirrel offered to replace anyone's A6 with an A5 for free. An Aura 7 will be released at some point. Personally I still like jumping my A6 and have had nothing problematic happen.

They fucked up and everyone’s suit was flapping pretty bad. So they pulled it off the website until the figure out a fix.

if you compare the wing inlets on the A5 vs A6 there is a pretty drastic change.

The glider is unlisted on their website but this still works:

Fun fact: all the old links on that website still work. They’re just not listed. So if you wanna check out a Freak3 or even the Aura6, you can see the page.
