Neil,

I opened it up and i could see a faint mark on the bec and case bottom where the case had hit it. More specifically, i could feel a rough spot where i believe the top of the bec had hit the manufacturing sticker on the bottom of the case. So i think you're right, there needs to be some extra clearance there.

i know the cases from V2 to V3 and 4's were supposed to be a few mm bigger, but i'm wondering if it was enough for some of the bigger jumpers who might get more case flex on harder landings.

i've got some good suggestions from you and a few other folks about how to tackle the problem. i think it's definately fixable.

thanks for the replies guys.
