Butters 0 #4 July 16, 2009 Thanks for sharing. I found it impressive ... the time, the distance, and the navigation. PS: I can't wait until I can fly as far as the current Federal Aviation Administration Regulations require for flight visibility. "That looks dangerous."

Throw some boobies in there to make it more worthwhile or the FAA guys watching! Some nice big ones in the front and some nasty ones towards the end.

Deniq 0 #6 July 16, 2009 Main remark: if by Justin given data is correct... Hi Justin, huge performance in time! If I look the time of Tobi Scherrinsky (73,9 s for 1000 meters) at Paralog Competition (http://www.wingsuitcompetition.com/ppc/showtimecomp.php) with his average 48,7 kmh (30,3 mph), your 3:28 over 3200 m (10500 ft) with average 55,4 kmh (34,4 mph) is realistic. Could you please post next time GPS data for your flight for the glide ratio performance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fmmobley 0 #7 July 16, 2009 You should fly that way from a high altitude jump. I bet you could beat the 5:30 Gray Mike did earlier this year.... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Costyn 0 #8 July 16, 2009 Hey Justin, You have an Alti-track right? I'd be interested to the graphs from JumpTrack. Cheers, Costyn.Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peggs82 0 #12 July 16, 2009 Thought I should chime in as well... I, too, was on that flight, only mine lasted 15 seconds longer 3:45 - take that J-Sho!! I LOOOVVVEEE my X-Bird. Exit point was 5 miles, and what a flight. This was the second Time/Distance flight of the day, so fatigue was really a factor for both of us. (a side note, I'm feeling great today!) I feel the initial turn (180) hurts us a bit, and we still were not far enough out to make a straight run back to deployment. On the GPS note, what is everyone using now? Recommendations? Because God damn its hard to please you guys!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
