DSE 3 #1 July 3, 2008 FedExman brought me my new M1 just in time for the weekend. Thanks to Justin Shorb and Patty for putting it on the truck for me. Has the new arm system, back vent, arm vent, fits perfectly. Very impressive service from TonySuits. Jeff measured me in Elsinore for the WS Camp, Tony measured me when I was in ZHills 3 days later, and rec'd my suit today. That includes the wait time for a custom embroidery job with my company logo on the tail. I'm bummed about one thing though. I only got ONE Tonysuit sticker, and I need two. Seriously...can't wait to fly. If the clouds were not a factor, I'd already have been up in it. Thx again, guys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NSEMN8R 0 #6 July 4, 2008 Sweet suit! Does the arm wing only attach to the body in the front now or can I just not see the zipper in the back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #7 July 4, 2008 Only the rig zippers now (don't know if that's the right nomenclature?). The armwings are sewn entirely to the body length. With the new arm system, you only need lift your knees to reach toggles. It works well in theory and on the ground. I can touch the top of the doorjamb in my home when I bend/lift my knee. Not sure yet how I feel about no thumb loops, instinct tells me I want them, but tomorrow I'm going to jump without unzipping the arms and see how that feels, just to experience it. I imagine that the arms should be unzipped regardless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #8 July 4, 2008 How come no kung -fu Campos? How come you didn't get the SUPER M-1? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #9 July 4, 2008 I flew the SM1 (or did it fly me?). I'm sure I could grow into it. I didn't buy an M1 because it was bigger than the Blade, I bought it for three main reasons; -VERY fast to get into. Jumping camera, seems like the "non-working" loads are never planned, so getting a suit on fast is valuable. ~the new design is/seems very safe. I like that I can reach my toggles without doing anything. ~There was no point/sense in buying a suit the same size as the Blade. Campos needs to gain a lot of width and shrink a few inches in height before he can look like KungFu Panda...Scotty Burns owns that role anyway.

DSE 3 #19 July 4, 2008 Wow...two flights in...who needs grippers? This suit flies itself!!! Instant smooth right. Twitch the right eye, you're turning right, etc. Deployment the first time was interesting, as the wings are hard. Nothing like the old style M1 at all. Didn't unzip arms on first jump, you don't *need* to, but I think I prefer to. Damn...super fun, super far, super fast. Nice job, Tony. This suit is da bomb! You could easily sleep while flying, it is so smooth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
