tr027 0 #7 March 23, 2008 Just depends on how much speed you're looking for. There's a few suits with some speed and less price, so if you compromise that could work. If you want the fastest then you're kidding yourself and wasting your time if you don't get a V (not that there's anything wrong with that though, it's a free planet;)."The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

peggs82 0 #8 March 23, 2008 There was an S8 at F&D this year.... It was an awesome suit for those who it fit! Flys very fast. You can see it in my F&D vid (shameless plug). The white and orange suit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisFlyZ 0 #9 March 23, 2008 Quote If you want the fastest then you're kidding yourself and wasting your time if you don't get a V (not that there's anything wrong with that though, it's a free planet;). That is a very narrow minded statement. The V suit lost last year to the M1. It is great news for the wingsuit community that Bird-man has decided to take the S8 in this direction. Kris.

I noticed that the loss was so convincing and manifest that all the top european pilots have since thrown their Vs away and now fly Machs. Uh-huh..riiiigght.

hjumper33 0 #17 March 24, 2008 Is the Mach1 actually faster in forward speed, or just able to fly for a longer distance? I happen to like forward speed, if i really wanted to fly super slow and floaty, id open that thing on my back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFlyZ 0 #19 March 24, 2008 To add to what Jarno said(most of what I say is in the sticky). As long as the suits have large area, they will fly well both for glide and time. Its just that a suit with a balance like the S8 and V suits makes it easy for the pilot to fly for distance. Kris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
