Is 2.3 a decent GL for a Prodigy?

Recommended Posts

Had a 10 week layoff from wingsuiting and just got back to wingsuiting today. With being uncurrent and with my AAD still on the way back from Belgium, I decided to play it conservative and break out my Prodigy for a few jumps before going back to my SuperMach.

Had what felt like a great flight and my numbers are showing a gl of ~2.3. I was wondering how that stacks up against other novices? If it matters, I'm 350 lbs (25 stone/159 kg) out the door.

Corrected or uncorrected for wind?

That sounds pretty significantly off, but hey, try recording back to back jumps of 1 prodigy and 1 mach and see what it says. Goes to show how much is lacking and left wanting in gadgets these days.

It could very well be. For some reason, Paralog consistently doesn't like my data, so I use Time Machine to make a Google Earth map and then sift through the data points in Time machine to find exit and end of flight. Once I have those I then go back to GE and use the path calculator to figure the distance.
