TLob456 0 #1 November 28, 2011 Thinking about ordering a custom WS from Nitro Rigging (the Pipistrellus). Any experience with their suits? Tony Suits has a 16 week wait, Phoenix Fly has outsourced their manufacturing (or so I hear) and I need a damn squirrel suit ASAP! From what I know Nitro suits are solid but I've only known one guy who used them. Any opinions would be helpful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electronaut 0 #2 November 28, 2011 QuotePhoenix Fly has outsourced their manufacturing Really, since when? Because Robi made no mention of it a couple weeks ago... PF's lead time last I heard was around 12 weeks, with the V4 having a significantly larger lead. As for Nitro Rigging, I jump at Deland and have seen a couple of his suits on the ground. Haven't been in the air with another person wearing one. What would you like to know (if I can answer)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #3 November 28, 2011 Phoenix-Fly has not outsourced manufacturing. Im always curious who comes up with those kind of fake rumors. Leadtime is around 11 weeks on the P2, Shadow, Venom, Ghost etc Only the V4 has longer leadtimes. All suits are made in the same place they've always been made, with Robert himself in the factory almost daily for R&D and quality control.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

normiss 622 #7 November 28, 2011 Those are the only ones I've seen so far.... Looks to be a well constructed quality suit. Dammit. Haven't jumped one yet, so I can't speak to it's flying. Dammit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLob456 0 #8 November 29, 2011 Correction: Phoenix Fly suits have NOT outsourced their production. That makes my decision easy since turnaround is super quick and they've been making bomber suits for years. Thanks for jumping on the mis-information!

mccordia 73 #10 November 29, 2011 The information page on www.phoenix-fly.com always has the up to date lead times for all products listed. For the V4, that currently is 5 months (high demand). All other suits are at 6 weeks (as we keep two seperate production lines, to prevent the high V4 demand 'leaking' into the other lead times.) We've also added personel to the V4 production line, so those lead times are also slowly coming down.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisFlyZ 0 #11 November 30, 2011 My email went out on July 27, 2011. The V4 came on 18 Nov, 2011. So about 4 months. Kris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #12 November 30, 2011 At the moment we are up to 5 months (related to a large batch of new orders, as well as the Xmas period, and the factory being closed for 2,5 weeks during that time). The wait is long, but worth it...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
