TALONSKY 0 #1 May 10, 2006 In about a month I am going to order a new wingsuit. I am currently leaning more toward the Skyflier 06 but would like the opinion of anyone who has flown both. Currently I have a Skyflier 3 Thanks Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buried 0 #3 May 10, 2006 yeah it really should be v2 vs s6. any order now for the v1 will be the v2. they are different suits, it depends on what you want you want to do with it and past ws experience Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moonglo 0 #4 May 10, 2006 I have flown demos of both, though I should mention that the Birdman demo was a bit long and the Phoenix-Fly demos were a bit short for me, and I didn't put a lot of jumps on either suit. Since I was flocking I didn't get much of a chance to really fly the suits to their full potential, except for short bursts at breakoff. (My new V-1 fits very nice, but I've only gotten 7 jumps on it) The Vampire seems to be easier to fly and quicker to inflate, but they're both nice suits. The big selling points for the V-1 for me was how much I hated the velcroless wing cutaways on the Birdman suit and the high quality of the PF suits. I had no problems lacing up the wings, but it came out of its keeper on the ground while dirt diving, in the plane, and was beating me in the leg partway through the jump but never came out enough to cause a problem. Disclosure: I am a PFI, but I will buy whatever suit I like better and have owned BM and PF suits. My PFI patch is sewn on to my GTi. If I had the $$ to do it over I would get a V-2 (yes, I've seen the prototypes, and no, I didn't get to fly it ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #5 May 10, 2006 So what are some of the changes in V2 over the V1? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodew1 0 #6 May 10, 2006 Most noteably would be the wing air inlets -- more of a ram-air instead of downard pressurization. Not 100% sure but there will probably be different fabrics used - Check out this thread it pretty much covers the V-2 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2167075;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Best description would be by Professor --2nd page He flew it quite a bit at the flock n dock last month The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
