SimonM 0 #1 February 22, 2005 Hi All, I ordered my sugarglider today. I know it is sick to have so many suits but I couldnt help myself. The guys were great in helping me pick colours & design. I am waiting for a final delivery date but it looks like less than 3 weeks. Cheers, Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Simon It is extremely beneficial to your health to have as many suits as possible . Congratulations on your new suit. Hopefully, I will get to fly an SG someday. Kris.

Peej 0 #3 February 22, 2005 Nicely dude, i must say after my last post about the SG they were very quick to get me info regarding the suit. I hope the company goes from strength to strength, good luck guys! Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyinfishman 0 #4 February 23, 2005 Could someone please be so kind as to provide ordering or contact info for these suits? I'm very intrigued.... Also, does anyone out there have any glide ratio data for these suits yet? Looks like it would be a great suit for backflying too. thanks!

Simon Don't forget to hit the gym as well. I flew my suits last weekend after a long break and my arms got really tired. The SG with the wing running from the arm to the outside of the ankle must need more strength to fly to its max possible performance. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites speedformula 0 #10 February 23, 2005 My first impressions when jumping the SG feels like you're driving a 68 charger with a 440 wild and fun, definitely flies different than any other suits I've flown. wheather has been sucking lately so there isnt much jumpin going on. oh well , better days lay ahead.
