unclecharlie95 3 #2 May 24, 2005 Hey Troy, Robi is working on the suit as we speak Stay tuned for photos and updates. Long flights, JBASEstore.it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyflyingbecca 0 #3 May 30, 2005 QuoteRobi is working on the suit as we speak it should be hitting the market around July. OMG I can't freakin' wait!! I met the PF guys at Zhills and tried on both suits and was so impressed with the craftsmanship, material quality and knowledge behind the products - wow, they just blew my teva's off. I don't jump enough to get to a Vampire level suit and even though I demo'ed and was extremely impressed with the beginner suit, I guess I just want more of a straightjacket And I'm used to my Gti. Anyway, it's getting time for another suit and I really, really want a PF suit! So I just can't freakin' wait! Anyone know if they are taking pre-orders? "I know it's friday night, but come on.

phoenixlpr 0 #7 May 31, 2005 Im sorry. I`m not a birman, just a wannabe. I have to have more freefall, before I can take the course. Is that good? I`m just playing with the idea to pick my first suite. Gti and PF Prodigy are my candidates. Prodigy looks more simple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #8 May 31, 2005 QuoteI have to have more freefall, before I can take the course. Why not get the PF tracking outfit in the meantime? I am still getting mine dialed in (am averaging mid 80's now), but the forward speed is sick and I am having too much fun with it. I've got about 20 skydives with the tracking outfit and I am not even close to getting full performance from it. The learning part is fun though.

Well, I'm not an expert, not even a capable pilot yet, actually. I only have 5 flights: 4 Gti and 1 prodigy. IMO, if I had not already bought the Gti, I would have DEFINITELY chosen the prodigy. You just have to find a way to demo one. It's amazing. You don't have to do any prep in the plane, and I mean: none. Even on the ground, to get rigged up, all you have to do is put on the jacket, then your rig, then your pants. The pants are just like tracking pants plus a wing, and they attach to your sneaks so that you can get good tension. The arm wings undo by either pushing your arms upwards (reaching hard & quick, or you can reach in towards your waist and undo the snaps. You can attach the snaps easily in the plane or on the groiund. You can walk to the plane, board the plane, sit down, get up, and jump with out doing ANY rigging. There are no leg zippers, and also no arm zippers because you don't need to unsnap your wings if you don't want to, i.e. base, but for optimal canopy control(skydiving/swooping) you can undo them in 0.2 seconds. It's just a revolutionary design and I adore it. Plus it's a great price! Go for it! "I know it's friday night, but come on.

How about the drawbacks? I know all suit is a kind of compromise comfort,easy handling vs. performance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skyflyingbecca 0 #11 June 3, 2005 I am not an experienced enough pilot to compare adequately. Remember, I only have 5 wingsuit flights. I imagine there must be a performance tradeoff for the convenience and comfort of the prodigy. I think the new PF intermediate suit will rival the Gti, where the prodigy is probably a rival to the classic II. I noticed a difference, but not a fall rate/ floating type difference. I think the "different feel" I experienced was due to the different designs of the leg wing and the different hand positions I had. The prodigy has grippers and with the Gti your hands are free. There is another thread by a more experienced pilot you should read if you haven't already.
