aubsmell 0 #1 March 8, 2004 Hey, I just wanted to take a second to post the fact that the Aerodyne Sponsored Instructor Program (ASIP) is extended to all qualified BirdMan Instructors on a case by case basis. This is, for now, limited to the North and South American markets, you have to check with the Sales Managers of other geographic areas for their specific instructor requirements. The sponsorship is only for the Icon, Smart and PILOT combo. Since starting with Aerodyne I have been extremely impressed with the performance of the Pilot canopy in conjunction with my Skyflyer3. For specifics on the details of the ASIP program, please feel free to contact me for a ASIP application package and program summary, or you can do a search on the safety and training foram if you want read more about it.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 March 9, 2004 That is a fantastic opportunity for the right kind of enthusiastic instructor to get that wingsuit-specific rig I keep harping about. Fantastic. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #4 March 10, 2004 Hey Aubrey, I've ordered a Pilot 132 as a Birdman canopy on the ASI program here in SA (I'm an AFF, SL and TM I.) Do you know if Aerodyne will build the Icon with the dynamic corner mod and supply a 100 inch bridle, etc? tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubsmell 0 #5 March 10, 2004 I just sent an email to Dominic our head engineer down there, about the possibilities of the corner mod, at the present I don't believe it is available, but I'll try to get it added to the design projects list, as it is somethint I'm very interested in having. As for the 100 inch bridal, I added that into the email, and I'll send you a message as soon as I get a response, I don't feel like that will be a problem at all, talk to Dave as he can most likely get you one, I'm going to see if I could add that as an option to the order form (hopefully at no charge or a nominal charge) Aubrey"Those who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #6 March 11, 2004 Glad to hear Dom is doing OK. I was one of those that picked up the peices before they casavaced him out after he femured himself at my DZ. Thanks for the feedback re the ICON. I recently went with Mirage, but the ICON's have since arrived at our DZ and are looking like great value. The bridal is good info. I'll mail Dave in a few weeks and see how it's coming along. Good to know Aerodyne are proactive WRT customer suggestions! tIt's the year of the Pig.

aubsmell 0 #7 March 11, 2004 after a small amount of investigation (something I should have known off hand) our standard bridal is 117.32 inches long (2980mm) perfect for our little wingsuit passion. Mirage eh, on the sponsorship deal from Justin, he was rubbing it in that he got some Africans. You should be a good sponsored guy for him and send him daily hate mail.

Tonto 1 #8 March 11, 2004 So he got me, eh? I think he may have got my GF to "Sling Cordura" for him at JSC as well! My main reasons for going with Mirage (Even though they were a few $100 more expensive) was the delivery time and the fact the G4's been out for a while. I've been on the bleeding edge before, with Nova's and Jonathan's, and figured I'd go with a bit of history... I love showing off my G4, and all the points Aerodyne have matched it on with the ICON, but don't think I'll sell too many. It's steep when compared to the ICON. What's important is that many people have moved to better and safer gear, and that's good news for all of us. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
