Oh that would be great! Thanks a lot in advance =) The gentle giant.

Luke, Thanks for your great work. Just tried the new hex with 2 mates of mine and it worked great! We just tried to use the "config" folder and the on-off-on trick to change the configs on the fly. One does not usually need the navigation mode in every jump where visibility is sufficient. However it seems the latest Flyblind hex does not support this quick-change feature with the power switch. Any chance you could update your Flyblind under the latest Flysight beta release so one could change the config on the fly in case of sudden cloud coverage in the jump run? That would be epicly great =) The gentle giant.

Thanks alot for all the comments! I do realize that the bigger suits are never gonna be for flocking with others. That is just why I asked about even the mid-sized suits being too large for flocking. Why I brought that up is because of my local DZ's lack of wingsuit "culture". I'm sure that I'm gonna get some bigger fun solo suit after about 100-200 jumps with the intermediate one for quality time in the sky just by myself for the majority of the local skydives. With a suit like that I might never wanna go down =) The gentle giant.

That´s great to hear that there has been precedence with greatly taller that average fliers. Pretty much everyone that I see writing about entry level suits that have been dynamic enough to keep serving the needs of a new participant, say that PF Phantom2 (3 is the latest but just a few comments available) is the one to get. Seems like everyone are saying that it is the perfect all-round suit. Is that also true when it comes to people like me in size? Later on, when more experienced: 1. What kind of vertical fall rates do you reacon a person of my stature could accomplice with a TS X2 or a PF Venom etc? 2. Does bodytype(long frame, light weight) help in anyway when it comes to horisontal max speeds? 3. If the max speed is the same with everyone regardless of size, then will the one with lighter wing load get a flatter glide angle when maxing the suit at horisontal speeds? The gentle giant.

Greetings, I´m a bit of a oddity when it comes to wingsuit sizing, so I opted to seek wisdom from you fine people. I started the sport with wingsuiting in mind in 2009, but suffered a setback in 2010 when I crashed my 1200 ZZR while returning from a 10 day alpine bike run . Nothing too serious as luck would have it, but I did miss most of the 2010 season. I picked where I left of in the 2011 season and got about 50 jumps to my belt. Now I bought my own gear (spectre 210 main) and was hoping to get enough jumps (about 200 more) this season to get into wingsuiting at the start of the winter(somewhere warmer like Z-hills obviously). I reside in Finland. The main question that comes into mind is that what kind of "wing loading" do I need to get to flock with other "normal sized" people? Like the title says I am really tall and quite slim(220lbs, 244 exit), so this raises a question: Does my long limbs and relatively light weight result in a wing area that is so large that I have to close up the wings even with something like Phantom3 suit to maintain the same descent with the rest of the flock? All advice is much appreciated! The gentle giant.
