New suits

[hjumper33 0]

Seems like the V4 is coming out this spring, whats in the stable for a new tony suit? Anyone got inside info for anything else cool coming out?

I am guessing a "Z-Wing" like the X-Wing but 2 inches bigger? ;)

We are working on a public announcent that will probably be made on the PF website sometime next week. But its about the release of several new and updated suit models, and additions/improvements to certain features on all suits in the PF range.

This last note is already in effect, and everyone who received suits the last 1,5 month or so, automaticly got it with all the latest improvements Robert made to the production line!

More soon!

So if I were to place an order in the next couple weeks for a ghost it would be a ghost 3 that arrives?

[mccordia 73]

Thats correct. Orders placed for a Ghost since the start of November, automaticly receive the latest (as goes for all products/new features).

People who ordered midway into Oktober already got an advanced notice, and where offered the option of upgrading to a Ghost3, with a few weeks longer wait. The first Ghost3's have been delivered to the owners already.

I flew the Ghost3 for the first time last weekend, and would rate it a definate step up from the Ghost2. Especially on the back, its as solid and stable as can be (and can be flown with legwing/armwings fully open, and still fly nice and flat).
We will probably upgrade the 50 jump recommendation to 80/100 jumps for this suit, as the new armwing cut and improved inflation moves it away from the Ghost2 quite a bit. Though gripper length is still the same.

Weather permitting, I hope to shoot some pictures next weekend when the Belgium team gets their new suits (Phantom, Shadow and Ghost3)

So would the same minimum bump up apply to the new V4 later on in the spring?

Also I see that the new minimum wingsuit jumps for the V3 was bumped up from 50 to 150?

That wing looks a LOT like a Stealth 2 wing that is on the website pic I attached here? The Ghost 2 did not have that big taper down the body if I remember correctly. If so they seem to have really increased the wing size on the ghost that much? What did they do with the tail (I cant see in your pic) to balance it out some?

Added the Ghost 2 Pic from the website as well.

The new wing looks a lot like the Stealth 2 from the pic. I will be curious st see what the Stealth 3 looks like.

[mccordia 73]

The shape of the cut is similar, though the size is quite a bit smaller than the Stealth2 in all directions/gripper length etc.
The Stealth2 has quite a lot more, especialy in terms of the lower wingroot and width.

The balance of the suit is great for backflying. The ghost2 always needed a slight closed legwing on the back. This flies nice and fast with everthing open 100%, arms and legs.
And nice and stable on the belly, and was enjoying pushing it for distance on breakoff.

Ill post some pix after the weekend!

Last week I've made several jumps with some Fusion / Apache prototype suits. I can say that I've never flown a wingsuit longer / further and so comfortable before, especially the initial Fusion model. Very easy to fly around 30 mph vertical speed (210-220 sec from 13 » 3). Have to check the horizontal speed with my SkyFlight soon.

It's a complete different style suit and definately not for everybody (really big) but will be great for BASE and performance freaks. Looking forward to have one for myself :).

[hjumper33 0]

BASE is what im looking for. Tell me more, and send me pictures. Im hoping the next big thing isnt just bigger. The xwing it kind of the upper limits of what I want to proximity fly with.

Unfortunately I can't provide pictures yet until Tony has launched the new suit.

The suit starts flying immediatly so I'm convinced about an easier exit and less heigth before flying away from the wall. It felt like the suit was more flying by itself without much input from my arms. Probably due to the compartment design (cells and shape). With most other suits I can get tired when flying to the max for 3 - 4 min., not this suit.

Grtzz, Henny

y news if there is going to be a new tracking suit from pf and when it will be available, need one just wondering if i should hold off on the order till the new stuff is out??

[jonmurrell 0]

I was thinking about ordering an x-bird but I think I'll wait and see what this new suit is.

How does it compare to other suits size wise?

This isn't flying, its falling with style.
