  1. Carbon copy of your experiance Steve, maybe the name has somthing to do with it Stick to the basics, do your drills and don't deviate from them no matter how scary the situation, but most of all ensure before you start out that you have been trained by a real instructor and are comfortable with your equipment before you get in a aircraft.

  3. What an awesome suit. I managed to get 2 in . I was a bit apprehensive for the jumps in that it was 2 month since I last jumped following injury, more from using a borrowed rig with a big canopy and the landing than the suit. But all was well. The first jump what impressed me the most is how solid and easy the S6 is. All my jumps have been on a S3. The S3 is twitchy and always feels over sensitive. Not the S6! It was soft and responsive and felt solidly stable. There was no effort in finding the hacky and deployment was great. Both jumps were with others and the range of speed and getting to them was easy. I managed to do a bit of a dive to Gavin who had a bad exit and had a bit of a spin and was low. The speed build up was insane and I was mildly shocked at the sensation of the flare and stopping power. It is going to be whole heap of fun finding what it can do I really love it --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly

  9. At friggin last! after a good few days between the factory, Joburg and Durban they found the parcel with my S6 and then me. Boy am I happy so far with it. Itching to fly it, last time I flew was 9 weeks back when I bust myself. Not punting a brand but Jari & Jussi you guys have advanced in the standard and quality of your product if I compare it to my 3year old S3. Suit fits perfectly and can't wait to fly it, standard photos attached. ps Jussi, the green beenie that was in the box does not fit. --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly

  21. Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 12 metres (40 feet) but weighed only 50 kilograms (110 pounds), and lived during the late Cretaceous period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterodactyl We had beter all go on diet or we may become extinct too --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly
  22. True story. At a DC3 boogie a few years back a double amputee lost one of his legs in freefall. It landed in some dear old ladies back yard. When she saw it she promply polished off a bottle of Scotch before calling the police --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly
  23. Did security not complain about having a Blade in the Shopping center? Well Done Riaan, Mine is expected in a week or so but I hope my foot is fixed by then. --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly
  24. I use my alti mounted on my mudflap with no problem, it is a schlep when you have to take it off during packing.. Its also not fun when you get side swipped by people who change direction when they look at wrist mounted altis. --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly
  25. A thought.... Is a tri-wing wing suit not Bicambered? Your arm wings and torso form the leading portion and your leg wing the trailing portion. --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly
