McDuck 0 #1 September 29, 2006 Do any current Firebird owners have bar-tack on the leading esge of the wing between the gripper and the sleeve, right where the wing attaches to the sleeve? I'm curious, because it seems to me to be a recent improvement, based on the rip my suit developed after one jump and the subsequent repair by BM.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

I would have to check when I got home but I'm pretty sure mine has that (ordered dec 05). The area is certainly well reinforced - as befits what seems an obvious stress point.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
