TomAiello 25 #1 April 9, 2006 This weekend, while a trio of us were flying V-1's (not, sadly, at the Z-Flock event), I heard that Phoenix Fly has started taking orders for V-2's. Any official word? Anyone at the Z-Flock hear this from the horse's mouth?-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tr027 0 #3 April 9, 2006 A couple weeks ago I asked James about giving a general future timeline as to when this might occur, (such as summer, fall, or winter) and he said he was not able to give any. So very highly doubtful, but I guess anything's possible."The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

TomAiello 25 #4 April 9, 2006 One of the guys I jumped with said that he had actually been able to put in an order for a V-2, but without a definite delivery/release date.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tr027 0 #5 April 9, 2006 In that case it could be true, because that's how I ordered my phantom...not knowing what it looked like or what it would cost, only knowing that eventually I'd have one. If that is the case looks like all the stuff on my 'to get' list (base gear, jumpsuits, other toys, etc) will be immediately superseded."The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

I'm only dealer for them so I don't know the whole timeline for their products but I can assure you that right now, the only available suits are the ones on their website.

SkymonkeyONE 3 #13 April 10, 2006 It's a really neat suit. Robi let at least one guy jump it repeatedly (Professor). Different material on the leading edge of the wings than a V1, Phantom-type air inlets on the arm wings. The suit made good sense to me for what it's designed for (performance).

skreamer 1 #17 April 11, 2006 You mean the (Red, White + Blue) Bruiselite '220 I had in 2001? No, I finally got bored with PLF'ing and got rid of it. Good practice for BASE though.

SkymonkeyONE 3 #22 April 11, 2006 Huh? No, not at all. I have no idea what they are doing with the photos that they might have taken, but I am sure all of the other guys there will post stuff when they sort through it all. On that note though, I have been to several swoop competitions where the organizers refused to let competitors and spectators take photos and shoot video. That was so they could, themselves, market the end product. To try and do something like that at Z-hills would be laughable. There ought to be some really good photos with as many camera guys as we had zooming around. It was serious video overkill in my opinion. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
