eWave 0 #1 October 17, 2003 I got a good deal of an used BirdMan Classic about two weeks ago, so I had to buy it. This was also the suit, that I used on my very first BM-flight! Only thing that sucks, is Finnish weather. Freaking cold for a BM-flight now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #2 October 17, 2003 Very nice! Your cuttaway handles look unique. Are they the standard cordura soft loop or something else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eWave 0 #4 October 17, 2003 I got two handles with the suit, and both have same fabric. These what are on the suit right now, have that funky color. I think those were originally on the suit, cause the other cables hasn't been cut yet. So I will keep them as a backup. EDIT: Added pic of the handles. That red one is accually little bigger.

diablopilot 2 #5 October 17, 2003 They appear to be the standard handles that came with the 1st generation suit, and some of the Classic 2 suits as well. They are not "Cordura" but Tubular nylon instead.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
