Darn, sounds like my leisure travel fund will be taking a hit... (doesn't it always tho) "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Yea, but since he's gone Glen F. took over that title, you can ask any of the socal guys and they'll admit it, I'm sure. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

my 2 cents: Agree with Robi and other realists on this. Show the video proof of a wingsuit landing at a DZ (something I've been waiting to see for a looong time now) and then okay, I'll consider philosophy as a solution. Till then aerodynamics and the lift derived from it (through speed), is king in my world. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

What Batman flew in the movie is called a glider. We have those already, they've been around for a while. Also I seriously doubt human muscles could withstand the loads imposed by wings that big.

Its official. I trashpack - Poynter says so - so it must be true.

It's hilarious that you've fooled yourself into thinking a 4 minute pack can be remotely described as "neat". So what if you trash pack, it's only your rig, nobody elses. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -
Judging from that 3 way picture, it must've been a horrid train they had that night, glad that picture didn't get posted. Suit abuse that repulsive is rare, except for that guy that actually pulled stitches out of a phantom to attach strings.

Ah, finally at long last we have an empirical, foolproof method of measuring performance.. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

wow, that's right up there with wingsuit in a wind tunnel....VERY 'special'. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Wow, not even worth the paper it's printed on, literally. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

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.

I flew Vampire first day, and Ghost second day. I now have a whopping 5 jumps on the Ghost, and at the time I switched to it on Sunday morning, I had 1 jump on the proto before taking into a serious flocking environment. Both suits worked just fine. There was one jump where the base was gliding at about .4 so I had to do a go 'round (Vamp), but other than that I had no problems with precise flying in either one (I should actually condition that remark on whether Ed and James agree with it, perhaps they do not ). Both suits are good at filling vacant slots. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

At the Lodi event James commented that for that application he would choose the Phantom over the Ghost. From personal experience, yes the Ghost is great on its back. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Marco, Careful there how you speak because we are in the Tony Suits forum here. I said the same things here about the SM1 cutaway after I test flew it and was almost lynched within minutes of posting. Just lookin out for ya, "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Totally unnecessary. An unconcious WS pilot will fall fast enough for AAD deployment, and a concious one can tell approximate altitude and therefore if the main should be out (if they cannot they should not even start flying WS).

Nice colors on that V2, looks good

What it comes down to is how many extra repacks per year are you willing to afford?? "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

The arm inlets being moved back didn't harm the pressurization speed on the start? Or if you just dive it right out the gate (as opposed to starting flat) then it doesn't matter. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Just had a short dive (2 or 3 sec)and when I planed out of it the force on the wing blew the velcro out on one side. Doesn't work for me but sounds like it works for others so I must be the only one.

The SM1 has a cutaway system that is prone to blow outs and higher maintenance. It's a great idea, just not secure enough to be reliable. Out of 2 demo jumps, I had 1 blowout. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

I feel I must commend you Robert on your patience and perseverance with correcting discussions here. As usual in this forum, people get all worked up and wrapped around the axle over trivial oversimplifications of WS (such as number chasing), and as usual you sweep in and settle all drama with one simple fact-filled post. I was wondering how much longer that was going to continue, so thanks again for the patience to spend your time on something like this.

The last scene was really nice... thank you Boris. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
