TallGuy 0 #1 October 15, 2003 Finally got a photo for you all of my new Skyflyer3. Thought the mockup of the King Air door might do a good job of illustrating the enormity of my new pride and joy. CCQ, the (gentleman on the right) has asked that I let you all know that at 6'2" and 220 lbs. he's no leprechaun. GirlFallDown (the lovely lady on the left) was my first BirdMan rodeo cowgirl. Hope you enjoy the photo and maybe we'll get a chance to flock together in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #2 October 15, 2003 Damn! Are you sure there's not a Boeing logo on that suit somewhere? You're a human hangglider!Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TallGuy 0 #3 October 15, 2003 You know it's damn funny you mention that. Boeing is one of the company I work for's biggest competitors in defense aviation. Maybe I can get a sponsorship out of this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin922 0 #8 October 15, 2003 Holy fuck dude.. i thought everyone was joking about how big you were.. That girl looks like a friggin midget compared to you. I hope they charged you for 2 suits since that is how much material they probably used! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TallGuy 0 #9 October 15, 2003 LazyFrog: No idea. Haven't gotten around to measuring it. Joboulay: You are tall and don't let anyone tell you different. No fighter escort yet. But I'm still keeping hope. Kevin922: I'm keeping a list of all you guys that use that damn material joke. Be wary of all passing shaddows. Hope you little folks out there are requesting your discounts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crawford 0 #12 October 15, 2003 At 5' 8", I'm not saying a damn thing about you. Has anyone seen the movie Beastmaster when the "things" wrapped their wings around the people and they turned into mush!!!?? That is you dude. Flock on!!!

TALONSKY 0 #13 October 15, 2003 Nice Suit !! Damn you are fucking tall. This may just be from the angle the picture was shot but it appears (to me anyways) that your arms are swept back a lot further than my S3 is. I am not sure what affect this may have on flight but I just thought I would bring up the observation. I am attaching some pic’s of my suit for reference. Not that it would matter but I am 6’3” and 215 LBS. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazyfrog 0 #14 October 15, 2003 so tell me, how tall are you ?? at our DZ ther's a guy with a birdman suit, he is 2M high... and at birdman they didn't want to make his suit... he finally got it...---------- Fumer tue, péter pue ------------- ourson #10, Mosquito Uno, CBT 579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TallGuy 0 #15 October 15, 2003 The111: Northrop Grumman Crawford: Damn straight. So there will be no more jokes about paying for extra material or else! Talonsky: Yeah my arms were probably back a bit. I do try to keep them forward in flight but after a few jumps the tend to get tired and often end up retracted a bit behind me. LazyFrog: I'm 6'9" The BirdMan company has been pretty cool with me. No significant complaints. In fact Kudos on an excellent product. Sorry if I don't respond for a bit.

crawford 0 #16 October 15, 2003 Tallguy, I'm the "not saying a damn thing" guy, remember? Ha Ha... No jokes from me. Anyone that can reach the door on the herc when open gets no jeering from me. I know where I stand!!! HA HA Or should I say, I know where I fly?! Ok, that was stupid, sorry! "Sure, those Golf Carts may look all warm and fuzzy, but they WILL take a chunk out of your ass!"

bbarnhouse 0 #20 October 16, 2003 QuoteFinally got a photo for you all of my new Skyflyer3. Bomb diggety there Tallguy! I was hoping that you would go with the yellow tho...would have been sweet to get "Bigbird" and all the little chickies on a photoshoot. *sigh* My new suit should be here in the next few weeks. I can hardly wait!BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TallGuy 0 #21 October 16, 2003 Sorry. Yellow is just not one of my colors. Sure the Big Bird jokes are funny for a while. But there was no way I was going to let that stick with me forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to convince him otherwise, but he would not hear of it. It is your destiny....you can not escape it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
