Hagen 0 #1 August 29, 2008 Is it possible/easy to fly Vampire in flocks? I mean with other types of wingsuits - not as fast as this one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Deniq 0 #2 August 29, 2008 Yes, you can fly with Vampire in the flock. Backwards: if you have in a flock majority of Vampire-pilots (for example flock jumps in Stupino/Russia), it is to difficult to flight in this flock with another wingsuit models Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites aarthus 0 #3 August 29, 2008 everything is possible Have a look at this...

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VectorBoy 0 #8 August 29, 2008 The vampire is the mostest highest performance unpowered folding airplane. It has forward speeds that will peel your ears off. It is strictly for the most capable wingsuit pilots ( and me). Its performance almost requires an astronautics license. Lucky for me I have both. If your peers believe you to be dangerous as deadly to others and yourself you must first perform vampire solo flights. Preferably in a secret wingsuit testing location in the desert. Preferably with ground telemetry, video and stills will cost extra. Stay away from all living things and don't hit anything on the plane...... those parts are expensive. Did my advice help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Zeemax 0 #9 August 29, 2008 I certainly don't think you should be jumping a Vampire, no. You've been told before about what you should do, but for some reason you don't want to listen.

Yeah, those are just plain deadly. Stick with wingsuits on skydives, but leave your mythical beasts on the ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites phoenixlpr 0 #16 August 29, 2008 Take it slow. Its not a pissing contest, who can piss further or you have bigger.....wings. Depending you body type take a small or medium suite and learn how to fly. Trust me! There is 1000 ways to fly any suite. I had more than 150 flights, but i still don't know all. I have friend bought the big one at first, they have to fly folded in most of formation. I can fly with wings spread. I'm not the strongest but I have problems having more than 5-6 flight from 4000m a day with a Phantom. I was told that its close to impossible to fly a Vampire 3+ minute maxed out. If you are on the light side, get an Acro and learn to fly, if not get a Phantom(2) or similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites millertimeunc 0 #17 August 29, 2008 If you want a vampire, go ahead and get one. It was the first wingsuit I bought. Word of warning, though, the vampire has 2 speeds (at least with my body type): fast and overtaking everyone, or stall and sinking out. There was no in-between for me. That's why I got rid of my vampire and got a Phantom 2, which I can flick around like a go-kart and do whatever I want with. The vampire isn't dangerous per-se (very stable, in fact), it's just the wrong tool for the job if you want to be able to play nice with everyone.The best things in life are dangerous.

I've seen distance contests won with suits that many say will only float, not fly. And I've seen suits that I know are badass, falling out of the flock in the hands of an idiot.
